Elderly driver reported for careless driving after Porsche crashes through wall

Police are investigating after a Porsche crashed through the brick wall of a car park and landed nose-first on a pedestrian walkway.

Officers were called to the junction of Southway and Crouch Street in Colchester, Essex, at 6.15pm yesterday following reports of the accident.

Nobody was injured, but photos from the scene show the back end of the Porsche 911 Targa 4S perched precariously on top of a fence, with its heavily damaged front resting on a pathway below. Behind the car, the brick wall it smashed through is visible and debris is scattered across the scene.

Witnesses or drivers who may have dashcam footage of the incident are urged to contact Essex Police on 101 and ask for Pc Elizabeth Ferris at Stanway Roads Policing Unit, quoting reference number 970 of 05/04.

The Porsche 911 Targa 4S is a convertible version of the German car maker’s popular sports car, and features a complex folding roof. Prices for this specification start at £101,162 and it features a 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine making 414bhp.
