A car's ended up propped against a first-floor walkway at a block of flats in Portishead after it came off the road last night.

Firefighters were called to Briary Road just after ten P-M to find the Vauxhall saloon resting precariously at a steep angle ... but they couldn't safely recover it, so anchored it where it was and left the responsibility with the driver's insurance company.

The woman in the car was treated by ambulance staff but isn't thought to have been badly hurt.
