Police and paramedics were called to an Exeter street on Sunday afternoon after a collision blocked the road.

Residents in the area of Hamlin Lane contacted the authorities following the incident at around 4pm on Sunday September 15 when a grey VW was in collision with another vehicle and came to rest in the middle of the street on the driver's side.

One resident of the street told DevonLive the VW clipped a parked car before losing control and landing on its side.

It can also park sideways or make a complete turn on the spot thanks to four electric motors, one in each wheel.

Low-cost hybrid tech gives Renault breathing space in tough EV transition
Renault CEO Luca de Meo's bet on a low-cost gearbox technology is allowing the French carmaker to gain ground in Europe's fast-growing hybrid car market, giving it some breathing space as rivals get squeezed by the electric mobility challenge. Demand for expensive electric vehicles is not taking off in Europe despite a European Union ban on combustion engine cars due to come into force in 2035, putting massive strain on Europe's automotive industry. But Renault, which is smaller than auto peers and was hit by record losses in 2020, is showing surprising strength in hybrid cars that use both a thermal engine and an electric one.
