It is understood the woman driver came away without injury, but was "shaken up", according to Matthew Spackman who was first on the scene.

Mr Spackman, a part time employee at the Cinque Ports Arms, opposite, said: "The car shifted forward.

"I was the first person on the scene and I brought her over to the pub and sat her down with a cup of tea.

"There is a fuel spillage but it is not so bad, they have just chucked some sand down."

It is understood that there was minimal damage to the car and no one else was hurt.

There have been three incidents, of a similar nature, take place in the same spot in under a year.
