Traffic was diverted from Harbour Road this afternoon after a car struck a wall and ended up on the water’s edge.

A police spokesman said that at about 1.30pm, emergency services responded to a report of a single-vehicle crash in Paget.

“Apparently, a car being driven along Harbour Road, between Lovers Lane and Highwood Lane, struck a wall and ended up at the water’s edge,” he added.

“It is understood that the female driver sustained non-life-threatening injuries and was assisted out of the vehicle.”

The spokesman said that traffic travelling west was temporarily diverted on to Lovers Lane, while traffic travelling east was diverted on to Highwood Lane.

However, as of 3pm, the damaged car was removed.

“In addition, the affected section of roadway was assessed by Works and Engineering, as well as Belco personnel, with normal traffic flow in the area resuming shortly after,” the spokesman said in an update.

Any witnesses to the collision were encouraged to call 211.
