"Monger was driving along the 30mph road when he collided with a Volkswagen Lupo, a Volkswagen Golf and a Citroen C, causing damage to all three cars. Damage was also caused to a lamp post and a hedge and a wall in the front garden of a nearby property."
Rick Scholey, supervisor for the road traffic collision team, who investigated the case, said: "Monger was not paying attention when he lost control of his car which resulted in him colliding with three parked cars, causing significant damage to the vehicles before then colliding with a hedge and wall belonging to a nearby house.

"Thankfully, no-one was in the road at the time otherwise this could have had far more serious consequences."
