All three Emergency Services – Ambulance, Police and Fire – were called to the junction of Gloucester Street and the Esplanade.

The vehicle – a black car, whose air bag had gone off – was badly damaged in the collision.

Islanders were subsequently warned to avoid the area amid reports of traffic blockages leading as far back as the underpass.
