THE driver of a stationwagon escaped injury this morning when his vehicle went out of control in the Gisborne main street and collided heavily with a palm tree in the middle of the road.
The accident happened just west of the Gladstone Road-Peel Street corner at about 7.15am.
“The vehiclewas seen being driven on the wrong side of the road just prior to the crash,” a police spokesman said.
“A tow truck was called because the front of the stationwagon sustained considerable damage and could not be driven away. The male driver was uninjured.”
The palm tree sustained a small amount of damage in the collision.
