A parking warden has been criticised for writing out a ticket for a car - after it had been involved in a crash.
The VW Golf was slapped with a £100 fixed penalty fine within hours of the accident.
Amazingly, the stranded car was given another ticket the next day by the same warden.
Passerby James Pennant said: "I was flabbergasted. The VW was clearly undriveable and the car it hit was on the other side of the road.
"It was obviously the scene of an accident. Someone could have been killed or badly injured - but that didn't stop him writing out a ticket. I told the warden what he was doing was atrocious but he just told me to go away."
It is believed no one was hurt in the accident in Barkingside, Essex.
A spokesman for parking firm APCO apologised and said the tickets would be cancelled.
According to the Mirror he added: "When the attendant arrives for his next shift he will be asked why on earth he did what he did."
We all know why he did what he did, apart from being a mini Hitler, it boosts his target figures.

- "You wanna know what's wrong with religion? Religion is supposed to be about people being nice to each other, but frankly I don't see a lot of that. You know what I do see is, I see, a lot of people using the good book to say that they're morally superior. I see people building TV stations to bilk grandma out of her pension checks, all in the name of God. How about all those God-fearing people who are killing other God-fearing people because they don't fear God the same way?" - Dr. John Becker
