A PEDESTRIAN and cyclist had a lucky escape when a speeding car crashed through bollards and missed them by inches.
CCTV footage shows the pedestrian stepping off the road on the corner of Eldon Street and Midland Street when the car crashes onto the pavement knocking over four stainless steel bollards between which he had stepped a split second before.
The cyclist can also be seen a few feet further down the pavement.
Luckily the pedestrian saw the car coming in his direction just in time and managed to jump out of its path.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
