A car was left wedged in the air by rising bollards in Cardiff city centre.

The Toyota was pictured stuck on barriers on Wharton Street, which connects St Mary St and The Hayes, on Wednesday morning.

Mike Leeson, who took the picture, took to social media to share the misfortune.

"Oh dear," he wrote. "Not a great day for this chap in Cardiff."

Meanwhile, another car was left damaged just days earlier.

But Cardiff council say the rules are clear enough.

A spokesman said: "There is a clear sign on the approach to all security bollards, advising motorists to stop their vehicle, only proceed when the green light shows and specifically not to tail-gate vehicles through the barrier.

"The bollards are designed to lower and rise out of the ground as quickly as possible to stop unauthorised vehicles driving through the security cordon.

“For the reasons clearly shown in the photographs, we would advise all motorists not to try to tail-gate authorised vehicles through these bollards."
