A Land Rover toppled on to its roof in a crash along the A4 at Box Hill.

A spokesperson for Great Western Ambulance Service said: “When we first received the call it had the potential to be very serious, but we were able to deal with the situation without sending the people involved to hospital.

well you put a smile on my face.
Here is the full story, glad they both got out OK.

A Land Rover toppled on to its roof in a crash along the A4 at Box Hill which resulted in long tailbacks in both directions and the road being closed for almost two hours.
The disabled driver and a passenger were treated at the scene for minor head injuries after the incident happened at 3.22pm last Friday. They had been turning off the road to travel down a single track lane.

I can't see why the A4 needed to be closed for 2 hours when the vehicle wasn't on it.

Apparently the A4 was blocked by emergency vehicles

A bit more to the story;
A man has been taken to the Royal United Hospital, in Bath, with serious head injuries after his car toppled over near Box.

The man, who is believed to be in his 30s, was driving a black Landrover along the A4 at Box Hill. It is understood he had two or three passengers who suffered minor injuries after the vehicle toppled on to its roof.
