A CAR has swerved off Bradshaw Road and gone down an embankment.

Police and ambulance services were called at 4.15pm today after the dark blue Ford Fiesta had swerved on the slippery road surface and lost grip.

No other car was involved and the two men in the car were treated at the scene for shock but suffered no further injuries.

Traffic is starting to build up in Bradshaw Road as motorists slow down to look at the accident.

Police are on the scene and Bradshaw Road will be closed temporarily in both directions while the car is removed.

It is not known whether the recovery work has started yet.
