During an early morning refuse collection the truck driver reversed at speed, round a corner, before slamming into the back of the parked Lexus and causing thousands of pounds worth of damage.

After first making contact with the vehicle the driver stopped for a couple of seconds, before reversing again and knocking the damaged black luxury motor across two entire parking bays before the car bashed into a lamppost.

In the footage, captured early on Monday morning by a restaurant CCTV camera, the driver is then seen causally strolling towards the smashed car to inspect the damage.

Pathmamohan Muhilan (doub corr), the owner of the ruined Lexus, said he wants to find the driver and make sure he never drives again.
