Car lands on its side in street crash
A CAR has crashed into parked vehicles and landed on its side on a busy residential street.
Police officers were called to the scene of a collision involving “multiple vehicles” on Bridgend Road, Aberkenfig, Bridgend, at around 12.10pm on August 31.
South Wales Fire and Rescue Service were also in attendance where they worked to “assess and secure the scene”.
A vehicle had been flipped onto its side after crashing into parked cars, which in turn mounted the pavement and hit a house.
The smash comes just two months after a speeding vehicle mounted the pavement on the opposite side of the road and took out four bollards.
Police said the latest incident was not the a result of speeding.
A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: “Roads policing officers responded to reports of a collision on Bridgend Road, Aberkenfig, at approximately 12.10pm today (August 31).
“A red Vauxhall Astra veered off the road and caused damage to two parked cars, before flipping onto its side. Nobody was injured.
“Bridgend Road was closed for approximately one and a half hours for the vehicle to be recovered.
“Witnesses at the scene confirmed the car was not travelling at an excessive speed prior to the incident and the driver of the Astra was issued with a verbal warning.”
A South Wales Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “At approximately 12.11pm on Tuesday August 31, we received reports of a road traffic collision on Bridgend Road in Aberkenfig.
“Crews from Bridgend Station attended the incident and worked to assess and secure the scene.”
