John McConnie
We understand the taxi was being driven by our good friend and former colleague John McConnie who was unhurt but his taxi was badly damaged and one of the two passengers, both visitors, sustained a cut to her arm.
The accident is, of course, under investigation and the Police are appealing for witnesses to the accident to come forward.
