An woman driver escaped serious injury on Saturday 12 November when her Mitsubishi Overlander 4x4 clipped the rear of a parked mini and overturned in Middle Street. The incident occured at 11:00am and according to eye witnesses the car was not speeding and caught fire when it overturned.

The driver had injuries to her arm and was in shock but was able to walk. Fire crews attended the scene and the road was closed for nearly two hours.

The incident highlights the threat of cars travelling through the village. Freak accident it may be, but it happened and if the car had been travelling at over the speed limit the consequences may have been a lot more serious.
