A 73-year-old man crashed through the wall of a subway car park and on to a pedestrian footpath in Colchester on 5 April, reports the East Anglian Daily Times.

Fortunately, nobody was injured as a result of the incident but the driver was reported for careless driving.

Lexden Road resident, Nicole Rose, commented: “I was just going into town with my friend when I said, ‘that looks like the back end of a car’.

“Police had cordoned off the area but there was no ambulance or fire service there, just a lot of men working out how they were going to move it.

“My friend arrived at my house about 6.20 pm and we left and went past it at 7.05pm so it must have happened between then.

The incident was attended to by Essex Police.

In a tweet, Sergeant Colin Shead of Essex Police, said: “A 73-year-old male has been reported for careless driving following this RTC in Crouch Street, Colchester earlier this evening.

“Thankfully neither the driver or anyone else was injured. The driver will be offered a fitness to drive course and the DVLA notified.”
