It appears the railings at a pelican crossing on the Strand Road at Meadowbank were hit by an errant vehicle.

A concerned pedestrian told the 'Journal' it's fortunate no-one was injured or worse.

"If you see the damage you can tell it must have involved significant force," she said. "It's fortunate no one was using the crossing at the time."
