A barrier wall and part of a gate were damaged yesterday morning after a crash on North Shore Road in Pembroke.

A car hit the wall across from Inghams Drive at about 8am.

A family across the street confirmed it was on part of their property and that they were co-operating with police in their investigation.

They added: “Somebody’s going to have to pay for this.”

Allen White, 54, who lives next to the crash site, was in his room when he heard a loud bang that he mistook for thunder.

He added: “I thought it was about to rain. Then I heard people down there talking, so that’s when I peeked out the window and saw the car.”

Mr White said a man and a woman emerged from the vehicle, limping but apparently not seriously injured.

Police and the fire department arrived to remove the car, which Mr White described as badly damaged to its front.
