One eyewitness said the car had collided with a blue Peugeot, the driver of which stopped briefly before driving off.
Police closed one side of the road off from the junction with London Road to the One Nottingham building.
It led to major delays, with much of the traffic being diverted up Mansfield Road.

“Trust me it wasn't a small crash. I work accross the road and it was awful. One of my colleagues said he looked to be racing another car. He ended up backwards on the opposite side of the road. It's a miracle there weren't more injuries!”

What a statement to make, the passenger was cut out of the car for a reason either she was trapped or had suspected back injuries and that is why the roof was cut off.”
