Tuesday 07 November 2017

Police are on the hunt for a driver who is said to have made a speedy getaway after smashing into a wall and rolling their car onto its roof.

The collision was reported to have happened in the early hours of Saturday morning at around 02:50 in the St John area.

A dark hatchback – believed to be navy blue and described as “similar to a VW Golf” – narrowly avoided crashing into another small car going in the opposite direction as it travelled north on La Grande Route de St John near the La Ruette Pinel junction after the Union Inn and Rondel’s Farm.
