A car was left stranded on a wall after a crash in Hanley Friday evening (August 16). The car rode up onto the wall at the corner of Sampson Street and the A5006 York Street.

The vehicle was left with a badly damaged front bumper and was left atop the wall with three wheels off the ground. A passer-by spotted the car before 9pm Friday, just yards from the zebra crossing.

The car had been removed by 6am Saturday morning. StokeonTrentLive has approached Staffordshire Police for more information on the incident.
