A 27-year-old man has been charged after a crash involving a parked car in Crossgates.

A black Honda Civic collided with a red Vauxhall on Main Street at around 8pm on Saturday evening.

The driver was taken to hospital before being arrested by police.

Margaret Inglis, the owner of the Vauxhall, witnessed the crash inside her house.

She said: “I got up to shut the blinds and saw this car coming along, I looked up and all of a sudden it hit our car.

“It only took five minutes for police to arrive. The car was all bashed but the man didn’t come out of it.

“I don’t know if I’ll be able to drive my car again but it was some mess.

“Thankfully there was no one hurt. You can replace a car but you can’t replace a life.”
