Mystery as two police cars crash head-on – with no one else around
Police chiefs are puzzling over how two police cars crashed head-on into one another, with no other cars around. The marked police Vauxhall van and the Ford Kuga patrol car were left facing each other after the crash which blocked the road. Two officers sustained minor injuries – as the vehicles also demolished a Victorian post box which had been in use for 120 years at Penpont, near Brecon, mid-Wales. One motorist who arrived on the scene minutes afterwards said: ‘I can’t understand how it happened. It was a clear day on a straight stretch of road. ‘The vehicles hit each other head-on and it caused a lot of damage. It was fortunate no-one was killed. ‘But the van must have been travelling at some speed because it was very badly damaged and looked like a write-off.’ A Dyfed-Powys spokeswoman said: ‘The circumstances are being investigated and both vehicles are non-operational.’
