Police have asked motorists to avoid Abbotts Way.
It appeared that the driver of the overturned car had parked another car parked in the street, which had ended up in a driveway, he said.
Seeing a baby seat in the back of the overturned car, Rowe feared the worst, but was relieved to discover the driver had been alone in the car.
The driver’s head was sticking out of the driver’s side window. It was supported by a woman.
