Emergency services were called to a road traffic collision involving at least three vehicles on Kingswood Avenue, Park North, at around 11.30am today (Monday).

A silver Volkswagen Golf struck two cars – an oncoming blue Jaguar and a parked silver Hyundai – and overturned on the junction with Lyndhurst Crescent.

The driver of the Golf, a man, climbed free from the wrecked vehicle and reportedly fled on foot. He was found hiding in a wheelie bin nearby, according to witnesses.
