A driver was lucky to escape without any major harm after her car flipped coming around a bend while travelling in a suburban neighbourhood in Whanganui.
In terrifying footage obtained by the Herald, the driver was seen coming hurtling around the corner on Harper St before losing control, hitting the kerb and sending the car over on its side.
While on its side, the car slid forward and slammed into a tree before coming to a halt on the road.
Resident Joe, who saw the incident unfold, told the Herald the woman was lucky to not be seriously injured, especially given the greasy conditions.
He described the road as "like a race track".
