Car crashes into front garden in Southport

A car spun out of control on Cemetery Road this morning crashing through a wall and into a parked car.

The driver of the black Peugeot lost control after skidding on Black ice and despite the drivers best efforts they smashed through a wall of a house and collided with a parked BMW.

Had the car not been there to stop the impact, the out of control Peugeot would have smashed into the house.

Police were called and insurance details have been exchanged but the driver of the Peugeot says the treacherous icy road was ultimately to blame for the smash.

Any witnesses should call 101.
