A police spokesperson said they were called to the scene of a two-car crash on Portobello Rd at 7.35am.

A witness said one of the cars was shunted into the harbour by another car attempting to overtake.

The car had four occupants, including two toddlers.

Police this morning said they were making enquiries, and there was no word on charges being laid.

Two ambulances attended and one person was treated for minor injuries, a St John spokeswoman said.

The road was not blocked.
