The elderly driver of the small four-door white hatchback was not injured.

The busway is expected to be closed for a short time later this evening for a crane to remove the vehicle.

It’s not unusual for cars to be driven on the O-Bahn track, according to Transport Department figures.

Cars have driven on the busway at a rate of just over three a year for the past 11 years.
