A driver escaped serious injury early this morning after a lime green Lexus IS overturned along the roadside in Five Islands, coming to rest on its roof beneath a tree.

The vehicle, which appeared to have left the road and struck a tree before flipping onto a grassy embankment, sustained significant damage along the driver’s side.

Despite the severity of the crash, the motorist reportedly suffered only minor injuries. Police are investigating the cause, including speed, road conditions and possible driver error.
