A woman had a lucky escape after her car collided with a forklift truck and flipped over onto its roof.

Police were called by the ambulance service at about 11.40am last Friday after a white Seat Ibiza estate and a red and white forklift truck collided in Colchester Road, Halstead.

Miraculously, no one was injured.

An Essex Police spokesman said: “The Seat had come to rest on its roof.

“The driver of the Seat had been able to get out of her vehicle and is not believed to have been injured.”
