A driver has had a lucky escape after his car mounted a traffic island in Mottingham.

Police, paramedics and firefighters were called to Dunkery Road, just off Mottingham Road, at 8.20am on Sunday to reports of a crash.

Shocking photos taken by Rob Copeland, who was at the scene, show a car almost on its side with a smashed front.

Mr Copeland said the car had mounted the island "at speed."

Luckily, no serious injuries have been reported in the incident. The driver's injuries are said to be non life-threatening.

Police are conducting enquiries into the incident.
