After reviewing 180,000
car insurance claims made in the last year, the AA has identified some of the more unusual car accidents and mishaps occurring throughout the UK.
These involved a claim by a man whose car was ruined by a storm of apples unloaded by a forklift truck, as well as one from a lady whose vehicle was crushed by a stampeding bull.
Names of the claimants to make the list have been kept to the first initial of their last name to ensure anonymity.

His claim is followed by a recent announcement by Gocompare.com that flooding could result in more
car insurance claims in 2008.
InsureandGo offers a range of
car insurance policies to provide cover for a number of accidents and mishaps.
