Scores of onlookers descended after a car crashed through metal railings in Ashford.

The smash happened last night around 7.40pm at the junction between Beaver Road and Norman Road.

Police confirmed they were called to the single vehicle road traffic collision, where a silver Volvo crashed into some railings and a wall.
