A CAR mounted a high street pavement this morning, destroying bollards and crashing into a solicitor's office.

Police were called to Ongar High Street at about 6.30am after a silver Saab 9-3 hit several metal bollards and the offices of Sorrells Solicitors.

A police spokesman said: "We believe that black ice on the road was a contributory factor.

"The driver, a man from Harlow, is believed to not be seriously injured."
