Roe Lane has been partially closed to traffic this afternoon after a motorist flipped their car over.
Emergency services were called to the busy main road that connects the town centre with Churchtown and High Park shortly before 2pm this afternoon.
They were responding to reports of an overturned vehicle close to the junction of Wennington Road. A black Citroen suffered an accident resulting in severe damage to its front end and causing the car to flip onto its side.
Paramedics were also called and the condition of the vehicles’ occupants are currently unknown. Fire crews also attended.
Police have closed off the road between Norwood Road and Hesketh Drive with diversions remaining in place for at least another hour.
The 49 bus route has been disrupted as a result.
The exact circumstances surrounding how the vehicle came to end up on its side are not yet clear.
