Published Date: 18 August 2008
A KICKING camel, a naked pedestrian and a nut-throwing squirrel have all been cited in insurance claims for car damage, it was revealed yesterday.
Decomposing carrots, a weary horse and a crashed Harrier jet have also cropped up in claim forms received by insurance company elephant.co.uk.

Some of the more unusual claims include:

&149 CCTV revealed that a passing camel had kicked out at, and damaged, a car parked at a garden centre;

&149 A car windscreen was shattered by a nut dropped by a squirrel from a tree overhead;

&149 A driver lost control of his vehicle and ended in a ditch after driving through liquid that had leaked on to the road from a large pile of decomposing carrots dumped nearby;

• A car was damaged when a naked pedestrian jumped on the car bonnet, leapt on to the roof, jumped up and down and then ran away.
