"Four young women have escaped uninjured from a dramatic crash on Nelson's Collingwood St bridge, where a 17-year-old learner-driver flipped a car on to its roof.
Constable Adrian Cupit said the car had been driven on to the bridge from Shakespeare Walk about 3.30pm yesterday. Mr Cupit said no-one had seen the crash.
Senior Constable Phil Wylie said the driver seemed to have driven up the bridge, rather than over it.
"It looks like she has driven up one of the curbed arches and rolled back over."
The four young women were shaken after the accident, and did not want to speak to The Nelson Mail.
The car blocked one lane of the bridge, with passersby amazed no-one had been hurt.
Mr Wylie said inquiries were continuing, but added it was likely charges would be laid.
Nelson Fire Service station officer Kevin O'Connor said there was nobody trapped or injured, so firefighters controlled the scene before handing it over to police.
"It was pretty graphic ... It was a rather weird scene.""
Hahaaaaa D'oh....

$400 fine for breaching the conditions of a learner or restricted licence is more than most speeding fines. Never stopped me when was learning though! 
Yeah... but these are SO often let off with warnings by Police (unless you're being a douche already). "I'm just taking my drunk friend home", "My sister was at a party feeling really sick so I had to pick her up"......Edited by GravelBen on Wednesday 11th November 05:07
