ONE driver had an extremely lucky escape last night after leaving the M62 and careering into the trees.

West Yorkshire Police traffic officer Martin Willis tweeted about the extraordinary incident, sharing pictures of the significant damage to both car and woodland.

He said: "This vehicle has left the motorway, gone up an embankment and collided with several quite substantial trees.

"Incredibly, the driver has escaped being killed or seriously injured."
