A Birmingham road was closed following a spectacular collision when a car overturned and catapulted over same railings.

Miraculously, no one was hurt following the two-car pile-up in Green Lane, Bordesley Green, on Wedneday night just before 10pm.

A witness said pedestrians would normally be using the footpath where the car flipped over but the area was quiet during the evening.

The cars struck each other and one of the vehicles hit a lamp-post at the roadside before spilling over railings at the roadside and landing on its roof.

Fire crews from Billesley and Highgate used Holmatro cutting equipment to free one of the drivers involved in the head-on collision involving a graphite-coloured Vauxhall Corsa and a blue VW Golf.

None of the occupants were seriously injured although they were assessed by medics at the scene before being taken to hospital for treatment.
