Pictured: One of the stone bollards around the statue of the Queen Mother in the Poundbury Square.

A statue of the Queen Mother that has been criticised for causing 'traffic chaos' in Prince Charles' model village has been damaged after a car crashed into it.

A woman on the school run ploughed into the side of the monument that stands in the middle of Queen Mother Square in Poundbury, Dorset.

The area has no road markings and is a 'shared space' between motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
