A CAR rolled onto its side after hitting another one along Southend seafront.

Two black Volkswagen Golf cars collided at 9.30pm in Eastern Esplanade just outside the Sealife Centre.

Nobody was injured and the occupants of both cars had managed to scramble out before the police and fire crews arrived.

One car had landed on its side but members of the public worked together to push it back onto its wheels before the emergency services had reached the scene.

Traffic lights were damaged in the accident but the area was cleared within half an hour.
