A few hours later, around 1:50am on Saturday, police and other emergency services responded to a report of a single-vehicle collision on West Bay Road, near Snooze Lane.
On arriving at the scene, officers found a man, who had been a passenger in the car, lying on the road with head injuries. He was transported to hospital to receive treatment.
