The embankment in Southampton that claimed a Police land cruiser yesterday was the scene of another single-vehicle accident in the early hours of this morning, Police have confirmed.

At 4.36am, a male driver reported that he was driving his car on South Road, near by Gulf Stream restaurant, formerly Tio Pepe, and lost control of the vehicle.

The vehicle subsequently veered off the road, over the embankment and towards Horseshoe Beach. The driver, who was the only person in the vehicle at the time, was unhurt and remained at the scene for police assistance.

Police advise caution in that area for all road users.
