A woman's escaped major injury after her car left the road in Portishead and ended up propped against a first-floor walkway at a block of flats in Portishead last night.

Firefighters were called to Briary Road just after ten P-M to find the Vauxhall saloon resting precariously at a steep angle.

They couldn't safely recover it, so anchored it where it was and left the responsibility with the driver's insurance company.
