The driver of this HGV had a miraculous escape after the vehicle struck a tree and almost flattened his cab.

Surrey police shared the image of the crumpled lorry following the incident in the village of West End last week.

The driver was reported as having been checked at hospital, “but appeared to have escaped serious injury,” according to the force.

Lucas Green Road was shut between Ford Road and Kerria Way while recovery took place.
