"It was like a bomb going off" car crash in Crundale

Police, firefighters and paramedics are currently at the scene.

Firefighters have made the vehicles and the area safe and provided treatment to one casualty.

An ambulance and a rapid response vehicle were called to the scene by the fire service at 4.03pm.

Photographs taken by our reporter at the scene show a badly damaged front garden wall and a vehicle, which was parked outside the property also badly damaged.

Witnesses at the scene have described a vehicle travelling through the village and a loud bang “like a bomb going off” thought to be from a tyre blowout. These reports have not been confirmed by emergency services.

Local resident Vanessa Llewelyn, whose car was hit, was about to go in the vehicle to her daughter’s house. She had just gone back to her house to check the door when the accident happened.

“When I went to open the door I heard a bang,” she said. “Thank god I went to check the door.

“Thank god no one was hurt. That’s the main thing a couple of minutes earlier and I would have been in the car. I feel very lucky.”

“There should be speed bumps here. Just before this happened a lady next door was dropping off her children.”

Her neighbour Dawn Griffiths added: “I heard this explosion. And Vanessa was crying. People walk their dogs up and down this road. People have asked the council for speed bumps but it’s not happening.

“Vanessa is very lucky.”

The driver has been treated at the scene and police at the incident said that no one was seriously injured in the incident.

One fire engine, a fire van, an ambulance and a police car remain at the scene.
