Several days after it happened, police are investigating an “unreported” motor vehicle crash, which damaged the Avana Bridge early last Saturday morning. A buckled part of a car’s bodywork was also left behind
The smash was reported to CINews on Monday morning, but when the newspaper checked with a police spokesman, he said they had no information about an accident in the area.
A motorist who passed by the scene at around 5.45am on Saturday said she had noticed the damage to the bridge, then spotted an unoccupied hatchback car a short distance further on from the bridge.
The car appeared to have damage on the passengers’ side doors.
