MOTORISTS are being asked to avoid part of Barrow town centre after a vehicle broke down.
Police said Abbey Road from Hindpool Road to Duke Street is closed from the Tesco direction while they recover a car.
An officer at the scene told our reporter a driver lost his steering and his car crashed into railings.
He said a recovery vehicle would be arriving in around half-an-hour's time
