A DRIVER had a lucky escape after her car overturned on the A46 road near Nailsworth this morning.

The accident, which happened on the hill out of the town, may have been the result of ice caused by sub-zero temperatures over night.

Members of the public have described other incidences of black ice on roads in the area earlier today.

A friend of the female driver involved in the accident posted an update on Nailsworth Chat & Information confirming that she was shaken but unhurt, and wished to thank those who had stopped to help.

Although temperatures have risen to single figures over the course of today, drivers have been warned to take care on Gloucestershire's roads tomorrow morning after another cold night.

Traiffic in the area has now returned to normal.
