A car was left in a precarious state on a busy Howick road when its driver accidentally reversed over a bollard while trying to park.
The incident unfolded in Moore Street at about 2.30pm on April 19.
When the Times visited the scene, the hatchback car was stuck with its rear elevated about a metre off the ground.
A witness at the scene said the vehicle’s driver was reversing into a space outside a store when he reversed over a bollard in front of the shop, and kept reversing until the back of his car was in the air.
Part of the car, which appeared to be its back bumper, was lying on the ground beneath the vehicle.
The witness said the driver appeared to be elderly and had been picked up by another person and left the scene.
Police attended and placed safety tape and orange traffic cones around the vehicle.
A police spokesperson says officers were called following reports of a car stuck on a bollard in Moore Street.
“It appears a person has unintentionally backed into a bollard.
“There were no reports of injuries and the vehicle was towed.”
