    Default Cars crushed in scaffold fall

    I'm sure the owners were gutted at their losses Had this been in London, I'm sure you would have counted an Aston Martin, Ferrari, Mercedes SLR and a couple of 09-plate VW Passats amongst the casualties




    A dozen cars and vans have been crushed after a 50-yard section of scaffolding collapsed at a plumbers' merchants in Devon.
