Police
are appealing for information after a man used a digger to destroy the
reception of a new Travelodge hotel in Liverpool, on the day the building was
due to be completed. Footage, which has gone viral online, shows the vehicle
repeatedly smashing into the hotel on Edge Lane, Liverpool, which was under
construction.
"The
handover was today, everything completed, we'd put the last tile in, cleaned up
and made sure everything was perfect," ceiling fixer Samuel White, 24, told
the Press Association on Monday.
"Then
some idiot in a mini digger decided to drive through the middle of the
building."
Footage
which has gone viral online shows the vehicle repeatedly smashing into the
hotel on Edge Lane, Liverpool, which was under construction.
There
were construction workers inside the hotel at the time and Merseyside Police
said one man was treated for eye irritation due to exposure to diesel, but did
not believe anyone else was injured.
He
said the destruction, which started shortly before 3pm, went on for "a
good 20 or 30 minutes" before the driver left the vehicle and ran off.
"There
were loads of workers outside all gobsmacked, jaws to the floor wondering
what's going on," said Mr White.
