Driver narrowly misses pond in single-vehicle crash
The driver of a vehicle that went off the road in St. John’s on Sunday afternoon narrowly escaped going into a pond.
Emergency crews were called to Allandale Road, near Long Pond, shortly before 4:30 p.m.. The driver of a vehicle lost control, going off the road near a walking trail. The vehicle traveled nearly thirty metres down an embankment and through some bushes, coming to rest with its front wheels in the water.
