A DRIVER had a lucky escape after his Fiat Brava car left the A1 in North Yorkshire, and ploughed through saplings on an embankment before coming to a halt.
The accident happened on the northbound carriageway near Kirkby Fleetham, a mile south of Catterick in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The driver needed treatment for leg injuries. He was later detained for observation at the Friarage Hospital in Northallerton.
