A Ferrari driver had a lucky escape after his high-powered vehicle flipped onto its roof in Cheshire.

The 41-year-old man behind the wheel suffered only a minor injury in the crash at Lymm Interchange on Monday evening.

Emergency crews were called to a southbound slip road off the M56 at 6pm. They discovered a battered Ferrari which had spun over near the M6 turnoff. No other cars were involved and no arrests were made, a Cheshire Police spokesman said.

The North West Motorway Police tweeted on Tuesday morning: “Here’s a couple of pictures of the vehicle that lost control and rolled over on the M56 to M6 slip yesterday evening...

"Driver had minor injuries and will be going on a driver improvement course.

"The #Ferrari however was not so lucky.”
