One man at the scene told the Reformer: "One of the big lorries was carrying a digger on the back of it and it has toppled on to a car.

"It looks as if it is one of the diggers from where they are building the new road, they were coming in or out and it has come off the lorry.

"It looks really bad."

Police say more information will be issued in due course.
