A driver found himself in an unusual position on his way to work - upside-down.

He was driving along West Mayne yesterday when it is believed he lost control of his car, resulting in it landing on its roof at the roundabout junction with St Nicholas Lane in Laindon.

Paramedics and fire crews were called, along with Laindon police.

The man was uninjured after crawling out of the flipped vehicle.

Officers ensured traffic kept flowing smoothly at the roundabout, while surprised motorists drove by. A recovery vehicle later took the car away.
