The black BMW smashed into the lamppost on the A4440 bypass in Worcester on October 11.
The car was badly damaged after the crash near County Hall. The car came to rest on a grass area on Nunnery Way very close to the pedestrian crossing. The impact was so severe the lamppost was bent and was leaning over.
Both front seat airbags had been deployed in the BMW on impact. A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: “At around 1pm today officers were called to a collision involving a vehicle on the roundabout of A4440 and A44. No one was injured and no one has been arrested.”
