by Christopher Harper, Ben LyonsA driver had a very lucky escape after their car flipped onto its side.
The accident took place on the A6096 Ladywood Road, near Ilkeston, after black ice caused issues across Nottinghamshire.
Cops confirmed that no-one was injured in the accident which took place at the road's junction with Arbour Hill, in Dale Abbey, reports DerbyshireLive.
Erewash Response Unit tweeted this morning to report the crash and warn other motorists of the tricky conditions on the roads this morning.
The unit posted just before 6am to say: "A stark reminder to drive to the conditions. There is a lot of black ice on the roads this morning as this driver discovered. Single vehicle RTC with no injuries on the A6096 Ladywood Road, junction of Arbour Hill."
