Motorist cheats death after his car flips

A quick-thinking driver cheated death after his Mini Cooper flipped five times - despite unbuckling his seat belt on the third flip.

Barry Taker, 34, was driving at 70mph on the M6 when a lorry clipped the rear of his car, causing it to spin out of control.

The vehicle went into a 'barrel roll' - flipping five times before landing on its roof.

Every time it spun the roof was crushed closer to Barry's head, so he unbuckled his belt on the third turn and lay flat across the seats.
