The owner of that limo is Stuart Thomas. He has been running limousine for many years. In fact I bought 2 limos from his sister in my early years in limoland. I believe that he is licensed. He is also a member of the NLcA.
However this particular vehicle had just been purchased from a company near me and he had taken it for an MOT.
Unfortunatly whilst going through the brake test a brake pipe burst. The vehicle therfore failed the MOT. I don't know the thinking behind the next bit but I am told that Stuart decided to drive the vehicle home to fix the brake pipe. On the way down the hill in the picture, suprisingly the vehicle picked up speed. Unable to stop the vehicle due to the brake failure Stuart decided to try to stop the limo by steering into the hedge. unfortunatly the limo hit something and flipped over.
