prang

"Sitting overhead, it can tell you straight away whether you're talking about a major road traffic collision that requires three fire engines and four ambulances, or whether it's a minor prang and someone's getting over-excited."

And it is the computerised lorries that it will prang.

Its “prang” towers more than 200 feet overhead, intricately decorated with porcelain pieces and walkways that snake up and around it.

Here’s another victim of yesterday’s prangs, Marc Hirschi of UAE Team Emirates, who dislocated his shoulder but is still carrying on.

The good news is that the weather is pleasant and dry so hopefully there will be no repeat of yesterday’s multiple prangs.
