Police and the fire service were called out yesterday after a car crashed into a wall flipped on to its side near the Shelly Bay MarketPlace.

A police spokesman said that the single-vehicle incident took place shortly after 3pm and was still under investigation.

“The vehicle was headed east when the female driver reportedly lost control and struck a wall resulting in the vehicle flipping on to its right side blocking the eastbound lane,” the spokesman said.

“There were no reported injuries; however, the motor car was left with extensive damage.

“Traffic was reduced to one lane headed west while traffic headed east was diverted along Radnor Road. The vehicle has since been removed and the road reopened to regular traffic flow.”
