A phone box was flattened following a crash between two vehicles.

The incident took place on Christchurch Road, Lansdowne on Wednesday evening.

Police were called at 9.54pm.

A Transit van and a Volswagen Golf were involved.

Ambulance were also called to treat minor injuries.

 A witness told the Echo: "I heard a loud, prolonged screech followed by a massive bang, which ended with the sound of metal hitting the ground.

"If it wasn't for the initial screech sound, I would have thought it was a bomb as it was so loud."

The vehicle ended up on its side.
