A young driver escaped injury after his car crashed into railings and flipped over. Emergency services were sent to Cenetery Road in Silverdale following the collision yesterday afternoon (September 29).

They found a white Vauxhall Corsa Ecoflex and the driver - a man in his 20s - was out of the vehicle.

A Staffordshire Police spokesman said: "We were called at 5.15pm yesterday to Cemetery Road in Silverdale, Newcastle-under-Lyme, following reports of a collision. Officers attended and a white Vauxhall Corsa Ecoflex was found on its side, in collision with metal fencing.

"The driver and sole occupant, a man in his 20s, was out of the vehicle when we arrived. He did not report any injuries and declined medical assistance. The vehicle and debris were recovered from the road."

Residents say new roundabout with 36 traffic lights is 'ridiculous'
Angry residents have slated a new city centre roundabout with a whopping 36 traffic lights as 'ridiculous' and say it is causing more traffic problems than before. The 'signalised' roundabout on the junction of Milton Road and Elizabeth Way in Cambridge lit up on Tuesday (Oct 8) with a colossal number of lights. The works to put traffic lights up is part of the Milton Road Improvement Scheme which the Great Cambridge Partnership (GCP) said cost £31.9m. However some critics of the new renovations said the sheer amount of lights means traffic queueing for the roundabout is standing still for a long time.
