The diver appeared not to injured and fortunately no one was on the traffic refuge island at the time.

A witness said: “I heard an almighty smash, looked up to see the car blocking the carriageway, it’s a good job this didn’t happen a few minutes later otherwise it could have ended in tragedy”.

Police officers made area safe and diverted traffic around the scene whilst waiting for the car to be recovered.
