Police say enquiries are ongoing after a car was crashed into a fence and a wall in Broadstairs at the weekend.
The car, a ’24 plate VW, collided with a wall in Beacon Road at 3.20am. The occupants left the scene but the registered owner has since been identified.
Cllr Jenny Matterface, who lives opposite the crash site, said: “We got woken up by the most horrendous noise at 3.25am. It sounded like an explosion.
“I dashed outside expecting there would be fatalities. The police were on the scene very quickly and took statements from some of us outside.”
A Kent Police spokesperson said: “Kent Police attended following a report that a car had collided with a wall in Beacon Road, Broadstairs shortly before 3.30am on Sunday 11 August.
“The driver of the vehicle was not at the scene when officers attended but the registered owner has since been identified and enquiries are ongoing to establish the circumstances.”
The crash comes just days after a Mini smashed into a property in Fairfield Road on August 8 and reported collisions in Callis Court Road and Reading Street.
