The car is almost unrecognisable after rolling across the M6 after travelling on a slip road too fast

The incident took place at Junction 15 of the M6 Northbound, and saw a vehicle approach the tight turning on a slip road too fast; flipping the car and crashing it into the barrier.

On arrival, the West Midlands Police found that the driver had not been seriously injured, had only passed for a month and was also driving with no insurance.

"Driver was found to have no insurance having only passed his test last month. Thankfully no serious injuries. Driver reported."
