Preston crash sees car overturn in Blackpool Road
A man was lucky to escape with minor injuries after a car overturned in a crash in Preston today (Thursday, July 28).
Police were called to the scene of a two-vehicle crash at the junction of Blackpool Road and Lea Road at around 9.10am.
One vehicle overturned and rolled onto its roof due to the impact of the collision, injuring the driver who attended Royal Preston Hospital for treatment.
Lancashire Police said because it was a “minor injury” incident they were unable to comment further.
Pictures from the scene show the car on its roof with debris scattered across the road and items spilling out of an open door.
There also appears to be damage to the metal safety railings next to the road.
The Blackpool Road and Lea Road junction was closed for around an hour whilst police investigated and the vehicle was towed away.
North West Ambulance Service have been approached for further details.
