Passerby James Leek, 71, a retired lorry driver, said: "I was walking along Wellington Street when I saw the car lose control when it was turning and then there was an almighty bang. It was a lady driver and there were others in the car, too, but luckily they were all right."

“Turning at the time, so speed is hardly a factor. Seatbelt? This is one for the traffic cops to make a meal of.”

“How on earth did she manage to put it across the road, on the pavement and hit that? Good job it was there otherwise we may be reading about half a dozen pedestrians sent like skittles.”
