A woman who appeared to shout an insult at Nigel Farage during his visit to Clacton ended up crashing her car just moments later, with the awkward incident quickly going viral online.
The unusual moment happened on Tuesday evening while Farage was in the area and was recorded by people nearby.
In the video, Farage is seen standing beside the road with several colleagues when a woman driving a grey Vauxhall Astra slows down and lowers her window to shout the word ‘w*****’ at him.
However, the moment quickly took an unexpected turn as, shortly afterwards, the car hit the back of a BMW that had stopped at a red light.
People nearby watched as the crash unfolded, while Farage could be heard reacting to the incident by saying: “She won’t be doing that again in a hurry.”
This lady shouted abuse at me and then crashed her own car.

Farage later shared the footage on X, adding his own caption: “This lady shouted abuse at me and then crashed her own car. That's what you might call instant karma!”
The incident has added to a series of unusual moments Farage has experienced in Clacton.
Back in 2024, shortly after announcing he would stand for election in the constituency, he was targeted with a McDonald’s banana milkshake while visiting a pub during his campaign.
