A car was crashed into a bus shelter next to the spot where 10 cabinet ministers launched a poster

The prime minister's attempt to re-energise his campaign descended into chaos today when a poster launch event was interrupted by a car crash.

Ten cabinet ministers were lined up in front of the posters in Hockley, Birmingham, and Lord Mandelson was speaking when a Volkswagen Golf smashed into a bus shelter just yards away.[/QUOTE]
