Pal of roadtripper whose car was FLIPPED by angry farmer with a forklift says he’s lucky he didn’t suffer broken bones
A MAN who tried to stop his friend’s car from being FLIPPED by an angry farmer says he’s lucky he didn’t suffer broken bones.
Footage of the shocking incident — showing topless Charlie Burns, 20, kicking out in a vain attempt to stop the farmer — went viral yesterday with millions of views.
“A lot of people have been suggesting we must have been doing something wrong for him to have reacted like that but we weren’t.
“I’m due to give a witness statement to the police in two days and have been asked not to say anything, so I’m not going to say anything more for now.”
A source close to the group said: “They were just a bunch of young lads on a day out, the car had a blowout and they got it out of the road. What else were they suppposed to do?”
“Everybody understands that people in the countryside get fed up with tourists and cars being parked all over the place, but what happened was a total over reaction.
“It wasn't even the lad's car, it was a courtesy car because his had been in an accident.”
