An overturned car on Welland Road yesterday.

Police were called to a Peterborough street after a car overturned yesterday evening (April 22).

The incident happened along Welland Road just before 6:30pm on Thursday and appeared to happen as a result of a black Volkswagen Golf travelling at excess speed before colliding with a parked Peugout.

The resulting impact turned the golf over onto its roof and caused the road to be blocked for a short period of time.

The man driving the car escaped without serious injuries and no-one else was hurt in the incident.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “We were called at just before 6.30pm yesterday (22 April) to reports of a collision on Welland Road, Peterborough.
