When Brian Selwyn, 82 from Cirencester, found that youths had discarded an empty cigarette packet containing a wrapper off Bourbon biscuits on his driveway the foolhardy pensioner decided he had little option but to play 'Chicken' in the road.
Despite being struck 14 times, Paramedics managed to limit the injuries Mr Selwyn suffered when they rescued him from his position lying on the top of a 'Le Mans 24hr' edition of the popular toy Scalextric in his local Toys'R'Us store.
