COLDBROOK Road East was notorious for another reason last night.
The road is currently plagued by the excruciating sound of drilling as Vale of Glamorgan Council stumbles its way through the development of apartments on land the authority has admitted it didn’t expect would be so hard….
But last night it wasn’t the drilling – which can run Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm – that disrupted the residents - it was a crash, as a Fiat smashed into the central reservation.
Photos taken by concerned resident Natalie Jayne show bedlam, with a car stuck in the middle of the road and fire crews trying to rescue it.
Ms Jayne said “avoid Coldbrook Raod, AGAIN” as she informed fellow residents on Facebook.
Police and the fire service were both called to the scene - but thankfully no one was seriously hurt.
A spokesperson for South Wales Police said: “Emergency services were called shortly after 9.30am yesterday after a Fiat500 was in collision with the central reservation on Coldbrook Road in Barry.
“No serious injuries were reported.
“The road was closed while the car was awaiting removal.
“The road re-opened at around 11.45am.”
A spokesperson from the fire service added: “At approximately 9.36am on Thursday, July 20, we received reports of a road traffic collision on Coldbrook Road East.
“A crew from Barry Station attended the scene and made the area safe.
“One personal motor vehicle collided with a road island.
“A stop message was received at approximately 10.43am.”
