Emergency services have been called out after a car crashed into a restaurant in Jersey's capital, St Helier.

Police, ambulance and fire services were called to the junction of Francies Street and La Colomberie at 9:03AM on Wednesday 8 November after a black Volkswagen Touareg hit the corner of Pizzaria Famosa.

The driver, a man in his 70s, has been taken to hospital. His condition is currently unknown, but Jersey Police say no one else was hurt.

The area was cordoned off with islanders asked to avoid the area.

The road closures led to delays as people were heading into town during the morning rush hour.

The road has now been re-opened.
