On Monday night (21st), Sgt Wood and SC Curtis were on their way back to the police station when they happened to witness a collision along the A271 at Horsebridge.
A driver had veered off at a bend and into a power line pole, resulting in power cables to fall across the road.
Luckily, having just witnessed the incident, officers responded within seconds.
We're pleased to report that the driver of the vehicle sustained no injuries other than understandably being rather shaken up.
We were able to organise safe onward travel for the driver, while ensuring the road was safe for other road users
