The car crashed into the wall of a front garden just 20 meters from the Cosy Cottage Cattery.

Manager of the cattery, Keith Howard, said: “I heard the thump and went outside to have a look. The police car had crashed into the wall but I don't know how it happened.”

Police have confirmed that the driver of the car sustained minor injuries, but added that no other vehicle was involved in the collision.

One ambulance was at the scene as well as three police vehicles.

The road is not closed but police officers are controlling the traffic flow so delays are expected.
