A motorist wrote off a family's car while driving off from a 'heated argument' with their boot and bonnet open.
Tracey Spraggon, 55, claims she has had to spend all her savings to buy a new car after the crash.
She claims a woman ploughed her Mercedes hatchback into the family's Volkswagen Touran which was parked outside their home in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear.
The nan said she was at home tidying with her granddaughter when she heard shouting from the street and looked outside to see a couple having a heated argument.
Video footage from June seems to show a woman trying to drive away while a man lifts up the vehicle's bonnet and boot in a bid to stop her.
The woman then drove down the road and straight into the parked car, prompting Tracey's family to run outside and investigate.
Police were called and the family's car was written off due to the impact but no arrests were made.
"We looked out the window and saw that there was a bit of argy bargy at the corner, Tracey told the Mail Online.
"I'm just absolutely fuming at what she's done, driving with the bonnet up and the back end."
The family ran outside and called the police while Tracey's granddaughter was "hysterical", she said.
Tracey said the children could have been killed if they had been playing outside in their usual spot.
"I was like 'are you an idiot? Driving like that, you could've killed a [child]'," she said.
"She was just standing there crying, saying 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry'. I said, 'sorry's not good enough'."
Tracey's daughter, who lives on the road, recorded the incident from inside her home which shows a woman reversing while a man blocks her path.
The woman manoeuvres the car despite her bonnet and boot being open, and later crashes head on into the Spraggons' car from the end of the driveyway.
Tracey said she was "absolutely gutted" when she saw the damage to the vehicle which they had owned for almost five years without any issues.
But the car was a write off following the incident which came just two days after the car had its MOT requiring nothing but a new tyre.
Tracey's husband's work van was also knocked in the incident but it suffered no damage.
While all the doors on their car were not able to lock because the electrics had gone and the car was a write off.
The family had been planning to go to the beach with the children that day but the chaos meant they could not go.
They immediately contacted their insurance but the payout they received was "nowhere near" what they need for a new car, they said.
It means they will be forced to downsize the seven seater vehicle to a smaller five seater car, they added.
As a result, they can only take three of their eight grandchildren out at one time making day trips and holidays more difficult.
The grandparents are now looking forward to rebuilding their savings and moving on from the upsetting affair.
Tracey added: "I'm just absolutely gutted that I've my lost my car, I loved my car. We never had any bother with that car, it was the best thing ever."
She said it is "absolutely disgusting" that people can "do this and get away with it."
Northumbria Police received reports of a collision in Sunderland shortly before 10am on June 26.
A spokesperson said: "Shortly before 10am on June 26, we received a report of a collision in Sunderland.
"It was reported a female driver had collided with a parked car causing minor damage. No one was injured."
