A single police officer attended the incident and was on the scene until 9.50am.

Additional company staff attended to help clear timber from the pathways.

A spokesman for Guernsey Police said that the circumstances surrounding the incident were being investigated. 'CCTV has been reviewed and the driver spoken to. Enquiries are ongoing.'

Nobody from Norman Piette was available for comment yesterday.
