More details have emerged about the crash which left a Mini in an almost impossible position in York.
As we reported, the car ended up wedged between a traffic light pole and a front garden on Friday afternoon.
It was on Tadcaster Road at the junction with St Helen’s Road.

The Mini ploughed through the brick wall and into the front garden of a house directly opposite the Cross Keys pub.
Now a witness has told YorkMix what happened.
They said: “Another car came down the road and crashed into the Mini which was stationary and unoccupied.

“The crash harmed two occupants inside the driving car which ended up down the road just along from the library.
“I swept the road of debris so that traffic could move freely.
“There was an ambulance operative in the neighbourhood who stopped, as did a work van who let the injured couple sit inside (it was raining heavily).
“The police and ambulance were called and eventually turned up some time later.”
The damaged garden wall is part of a three-bedroom semi-detached house now on sale with Hunters Estate Agents for £500,000.
Property details say: “Originally built around 1525 as part of a “Chapel of Ease” linked to Holy Trinity Church on Micklegate, the property retains many original features including exposed beams, timber doors, and a striking inglenook fireplace.”
