Firefighters and St John ambulance officers did not have to travel far to get to a vehicle crash on Saturday evening — it happened just outside the city fire station.

Two cars collided at the Palmerston Road-Bright Street roundabout at around 5.30pm that evening.

“A woman in one of the vehicles sustained some minor injuries and was tended to by the ambulance officers,” a senior firefighter said.

“Both vehicles sustained moderate damage.”
