Some residents have been left without internet after a car ploughed into a connection box.

The utility box by a block of flats in Langley Road in Watford was destroyed on Saturday evening (November 22).

Police say a BMW collided with a wall by Lorane Court as well as telecommunications equipment which has caused disruption to people’s broadband.

Sky and BT customers are among those impacted.

The scene has been cordoned off with barriers and signs saying work will last until Thursday (November 24). 

There is an estimated fix date of Friday night, which means people could be without broadband for nearly a week.

Police confirmed the BMW had to be recovered but no one was reported to be injured.

Follow-up enquiries will be carried out, the force added.
