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.

Police arrest 13 at Palestine Action protest in Norwich
Police arrested 13 people after Palestine Action activists launched a protest in Norwich on Saturday. A crowd of 100 people waved Palestine flags and held up placards that read 'Stop the genocide in Gaza' and 'Free Palestine' outside City Hall shortly after 1pm. Norfolk Constabulary made the arrests, all on suspicion of expressing support for a proscribed organisation. Five were taken into custody for questioning and eight were de-arrested pending further investigation. Another protester had a sign seized but was not arrested, the force said. Some of those who were arrested refused to move and had to be carried away by officers. Supt Wes Hornigold said: 'We will always work to facilitate peaceful protest and protect the democratic right to assembly, However, the actions of this group were unlawful. 'Our officers' role is to prevent disorder, damage and disruption in the local community and they will use their powers to do this. Any breaches of the law will be dealt with.' Defend Our Juries, which organised the protest, had told participants to bring a blank placard and pen so they could write 'I oppose genocide' and 'I support Palestine Action'. Meanwhile, pro-Palestine protesters chanted 'RAF shame on you' as they held a demonstration outside RAF High Wycombe, Bucks, calling for an embargo on selling arms to Israel. A large Palestine flag was erected in front of a replica Second World War Hurricane fighter plane outside the entrance to the air base, with organisers bussing in protesters from High Wycombe railway station. Hundreds of people have been arrested for expressing support for Palestine Action since it was proscribed as a terror group in July. The Metropolitan Police has arrested more than 700, including 522 in a single protest outside the Houses of Parliament last week. Among them was Moazzam Begg, the former Guantanamo Bay detainee. The mass arrests came during a rally by activists seeking to test whether the ban would be enforced, with the hope there would be too many protesters to detain. Anyone found guilty of supporting or gathering support for a proscribed organisation faces a maximum of six months' imprisonment and a £5,000 fine. Stephen Parkinson, the Director of Public Prosecutions, said 60 people would be prosecuted for the offence and that 'many more can be expected in the next few weeks'. Supporters of Palestine Action have described the ban as a 'gross abuse of power' that stifles expressions of support. The group was proscribed after activists allegedly broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire and vandalised two military aircraft, causing £7m of damage. A High Court hearing is set to take place in November challenging the group's ban as a terror organisation.
