A bus stop in Portsmouth was destroyed after a car crashed into it in the early hours of the morning.

The vehicle collided with the shelter in Kingston Road, outside MA Cash and Carry, at about 2am this morning.

This morning the car had been taken away and barriers had been put around the badly damaged shelter.

Eyewitness Paul Thomas, who was visiting the city from Wales, said the shelter looked like ‘a bomb had hit it’.
