Runaway car rolls down Oxford hill

9:10am Saturday 4th September 2010

NEIGHBOURS believe they had a lucky escape yesterday after this car, right, rolled down a hill and smashed into a garden wall.

Police said they were in the process of contacting the owner of the car, a silver Vauxhall Vectra.

It is not known where the car was parked, but it ended up on its roof outside a house in Hurst Rise Road, at the bottom of Cumnor Hill, near to Matthew Arnold School.

Neighbour Roger Wren, who lives about 200 yards away, said: “I didn’t see it happen to be honest, but the end situation looks quite dramatic.

“It is just lucky there was no-one inside it.

“It’s made quite a mess.”
