It looks dramatic but the driver and passengers of this car appear to have had a lucky escape.

The car appears to have flipped on it's roof just off the A417 on the outskirts of Gloucester.

But police say they do not believe anybody has been seriously injured in the single vehicle crash which appears to involve a Seat car.

The car was spotted on its roof near the road leading to the ten pin bowling alley and Nuffield Health Fitness and Wellbeing Gym in Barnwood.

Passing motorists say it appears that a group of young people were in the vehicle.

Police say it does not seem to be causing any traffic issues on the A417 at the moment but they may have to close a lane later to recover the vehicle.

A spokesman said the police are currently dealing with the incident but there does not appear to be any serious injuries.

Other motorists say the car is on a triangle of grass which is is making it difficult for other cars to into to get into the access road to the gym.

It comes days after a Mercedes crash closed the A417 near Birdlip.
