Driver barrel-rolls car in early morning accident

(ADW) A spectacular accident occurred on the A13 motorway on Wednesday morning in which a car barrel-rolled several time across the lanes near Schengen crashing into the metal barriers.

The incident occurred at about 6.30am between Schengen and Mondorf when a Hyundai car is reported to have struck the guardrail, sending it into a spin and triggering a series of barrel-rolls across the motorway.

The car eventually ended up wedged across the top of the metal barrier by the side of the road.

Despite the rather spectacular accident and the car completely destroyed, the driver escaped with only minor cuts and bruises.

Early morning traffic delays ensued as a clean-up operation took place.
