A driver miraculously escaped serious injury after flipping his car along a notorious stretch of road.

The black Renault was written-off after it overturned at 9.20am in Thornden Wood Road - a through route between Herne Bay and Canterbury dubbed "accident alley" by locals.

A passerby called police after spotting the car on its side about 20ft from the roadside.
