A RUNAWAY car almost plunged onto the railway track in Haworth.

Police were called soon after 2pm yesterday after the black Audi TT Quatro wedged itself into trees overlooking the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway station and next to the wooden footbridge.

A caller had told police that the car had rolled down the hill, near the junction of Butt Lane and Belle Isle Road in the busy tourist village.

A police spokesman today said: “The car was on its side and nobody was believed to be in it. It seemed to be wedged.

“We attended and put a ‘police aware’ sticker on the car. There was no suggestion it was causing an obstruction.”
