A private hire vehicle has flipped over following a crash in Bournemouth Town Centre.
It is reported that the PHV crashed into a bollard outside Bournemouth Gardens.
The incident occurred at around 10.36pm on Saturday, April 27, on Bourne Avenue, next to the Upper Gardens.
According to a witness, the vehicle did not contain any passengers.
The witness said: “The car that flipped over was a taxi; luckily, no one else was inside.
“The driver must have lost control, maybe due to the weather or not paying attention. But he went straight into a bollard and flipped the vehicle over.”
The witness said that the police attended the scene, but the ambulance service did not.
It was reported that the driver was helped out of the car by another resident, and there were no serious injuries.
The witness said: “I heard a massive bang, and as I saw the car had flipped, another man helped him out of the car and then drove off.
“I did call an ambulance, but the driver fortunately came out uninjured.”
A Dorset Police spokesman said: "We received a report at 10.40pm on Saturday 27 April 2024 of a collision in Bourne Avenue involving a single vehicle that had collided with a metal bollard.
"There were no reports of any injuries and damage to the bollard was reported to the local authority.
"Recovery was arranged and officers left the scene at around 12.15am on Sunday 28 April 2024."
