Driver saved after crashing van which was left perched precariously on a bush

This driver was flipping lucky and his van left teetering at a crazy angle after he crashed into a ditch.

The white van landed in an almost upright postion after the driver lost control as he drove round a country lane.

Two people had freed themselves from the van before the emergency crews arrived.

West Midlands Ambulance service said it treated one man for non-serious injuries.

Social media users expressed their shock at the van’s final position after the fire service posted the snap on Facebook.

Liz Prout added: “That takes an extreme amount of talent to park like that lol.”
