According to police, the taxi struck a fence along the pavement and tipped over onto its left side after the driver lost control. The vehicle’s windscreen was also damaged.

“The driver suffered bleeding from the mouth and abrasions to his limbs. He was later transported to hospital,” the force said.

The force is currently investigating.
