No one was hurt when the car landed beside the Christmas tree in Garden Place

The driver of car which ended up in an unusual spot might be asking Santa for a new car.

The person had a spectacular ending to a minor crash on Hamilton's main street.

The car ended up on its roof beside the giant Christmas tree in Garden Place, along Victoria St, at about 9.15pm on Monday.

"It seems it mounted the centre island and I think a pole has then forced it to roll and it's rolled towards the tree," Waikato police Senior Sergeant Scott Miller said.

No one was injured in the car or outside.

Millar said he thought the driver was being processed for a blood test but didn't know if there was any suggestion of drugs or alcohol in their system.
