Eyewitness Luisa Gagliano said: "It happened right outside my office at 4.25pm.

"I left work at 5.10pm and at that time the police had just closed the road.

"A female police community support officer (PSCO) arrived first on her bike, followed by about three police cars in slow succession.

"I think the vehicles were stuck together as the driver of the silver car had to climb over to the passenger side to get out of her car." 

No one was reported to have been injured in the crash.
