A man was told his car had been in a crash by its on-board telemetry system - as he ate dinner in Chicago. It turned out that the €35,000 BMW had been written off after being left with airport valet staff.

A man has told how he left his €35,000 BMW with airport valet staff - before getting a nightmare phone call a few days later.

Minutes later he received a call from BMW to check if he was alright and ask him to pull over immediately.It transpired that his car - which had been bought second-hand by Andrew 12 months ago at three months-old - was crashed into a concrete bollard at the top of a multi-storey car park. "During the trip I received notifications from the in-car telemetry to tell me it had been involved in an accident. Upon returning, I found the car had been driven into a concrete block, whilst being moved by the airport driver.

Andrew said he eventually got through on the phone from America and was told by the airport that the car had been in an accident, but given no details. "The telemetry said it was being driven between 20 and 30mph at the time. They had to leave it in situ for the insurance assessment. It was up there for weeks."

"Apart from when I met with the managers on the Saturday, I have had no contact from the airport. I had to chase them."
