Roundabout? I thought it was a f lyover

- Daily Mail Reporter

YOU’D be hard pushed to get a better shot if you were directing an action car movie.

Incredible pictures show a speeding van sailing over road signs after failing to stop at a roundabout.

The silver Citroen was seen careering down a dual carriagewa­y before hitting the cambered edge of the roundabout and taking flight.

Motorcycli­st Andy Daynes, 35, captured the drama on his helmet camera while riding behind the van on the A11 at Attleborou­gh, Norfolk.

Mr Daynes, of Hingham, Norwich said: ‘I saw it all. I pulled over along with some other drivers to see if he was OK.

‘He had to be cut out of the van – but he seemed to be alright, he wasn’t badly injured. It is quite a bad roundabout, he just didn’t see what was coming because he was going so fast.

‘He was on his own, he had a few cuts and bruises but the ambulance came straight away and took him to hospital.’

Norfolk Police confirmed the incident happened on September 1 this year.

A spokesman said: ‘Three people were injured and taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital.’

It added that an investigat­ion into the crash is ongoing.
