Moment unsuspecting painter is sent flying through air in terrifying crash after car comes out of nowhere
THIS is the terrifying moment a painter is sent flying through the air in a horrifying crash after a car comes out of nowhere. The unidentified man is thought to have been working on a property in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, on August 13. 5 5 At the start of the footage he is seen wearing a blue t-shirt and black shorts and half way up a ladder working away. His white van is parked close by and his equipment is spread out on the pavement below him. A white car passes by as he climbs down and moves out of sight of the camera. The video then cuts to him standing in the middle of the road examining his work. The painter then moves off the road and towards his van as a grey car drives along the road. While he is standing next to his van a car, initially out of shot can be heard hurtling along the road. The sound of the motor's brakes screeching then rings out on the footage. A greyish-white car can then be seen slamming into the back of the van. The parked van is pushed into the painter with immense force sending the poor man flying. The car, having collided with the van, veers across the road and spins around before coming to a halt. Moment 'worst driver ever seen' sends TWO cars flying in horror 100mph crash during police chase The painter is thrown into the air and looks to smash into the wall of a nearby building. He tumbles end over end across the pavement before finding his feet. Fortunately, the painter although seemingly a little dazed by the accident, appears to be uninjured. He is seen walking along the middle of the road and appears to mutter to himself: 'F**k me' as he heads back towards his van. 5 5 He puts a hand to his head as he approaches his van to inspect the damage done to it. Looking at the back of his now smashed up van the painter wanders out of shot as he recovers from the shock of the impact. The silver car is left wrecked in the middle of the road with parts of it strewn across the tarmac. It is unclear if the driver of the car suffered any injuries in the collision. The Sun has contacted Durham Police for comment and further information.

Thieves steal $2m in jewelry in under two minutes at Seattle store
Smash-and-grab thieves in Seattle made off with an estimated $2m in diamonds, luxury watches, gold and other items in a daring midday jewelry store robbery that took just about 90 seconds, police said on Friday. Video from the west Seattle store's surveillance cameras shows four masked suspects shattering the locked glass front door with hammers and then ransacking six display cases on Thursday. One display held about $750,000 worth in Rolex watches, police said in a statement, and another had an emerald necklace valued at $125,000. A masked suspect threatened workers with bear spray and a stun gun, police said, but no one was injured. 'We're pretty shook up as a staff,' Josh Menashe, the vice-president of the family-owned store, said by phone on Friday to the Associated Press. 'We're gonna be closed for a while.' Menashe said workers finished cleaning up the broken glass and were working on a full inventory of the losses. Police said they responded to the robbery but the suspects had already fled in a getaway car and eluded a search of the area.
