A BIZARRE incident took place outside a vaccination centre in South Oxfordshire where a large gazebo, unhooked by strong winds, flew straight into the front window of a driving car.

Heads were turned as the white gazebo crashed into the vehicle outside the hub at Clifton Hamden Village Hall, which was set up by Long Furlong Surgery in Abingdon.

Shocking videos from the scene of the incident showed the aftermath of the gazebo crashing onto the bonnet and into the windscreen of the car of a healthcare worker, who was on his way to receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

The driver, who wishes to remain anonymous, revealed it smashed both sides of his windscreen.

He added: "I had glass all over my clothes and interior.

"It then rolled over my car, hit another car just missing an elderly gentleman walking in for his vaccination and blew to the entrance of the carpark, off the main street.

"If my car had not have blocked the gazebos path, I would hate to think what the headlines would have read."

Since the incident, which took place on January 14, the driver revealed he has been chasing the surgery for insurance details, however without 'satisfactory' response.

Dr Trivedi, clinical director for Abingdon and District Primary Care Network, commented on what happened: "This was an unfortunate accident and we regret the distress caused at the time, the damage to the car and the subsequent delay in providing all the insurance information requested.

"This has now been rectified so that the claim can be resolved as quickly as possible."
