“A Land Rover has careered right into fencing and a taxi and another car have been damaged.

“You just hope everyone is OK.”

The taxi driver said he was travelling with one passenger at the time.

He said: “Everything went black at the time of impact, and there was smoke in the taxi.

“All the airbags deployed at the time of the collision. It’s lucky we weren’t killed.”

Resident David Dobson said there was a deafening noise at the time of the collision.

The 84-year-old said: “As soon as we heard the noise we thought, ‘What the hell has happened?’

“We saw the jeep had extensive damage to its front, and a lamppost has nearly landed in our garden after the impact.”
