A three-car collision involving a Porsche ended up with one car on the pavement in Westport's main street.
All three cars had been parked on the left-hand side of Palmerston St when the Porsche driver went to move his car around 1pm.
A police spokeswoman said it appeared his vehicle
was stuck in first gear but he hadn't realised.
The car leapt forward when he started it and rear-ended the car in front, which then hit the one in front of it.
One of the cars broke a verandah pole and ended up on the footpath within centimetres of Dennis Bookshop and Stationery's front window.
