A Dunedin woman’s car got stuck in a tree when the brakes failed while she was driving down a steep hill, police say.
Police were called to Wanaka St, Ravensbourne, at 10am on Tuesday to find the woman’s car in trees at the end of the road.
The woman had been driving downhill towards a corner when the brakes failed, Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond said.
After she lost control, the vehicle crossed the centre line and careened over a bank.
No injuries were reported and no other vehicles were involved.
