Lucky escape

A NOVICE driver escaped with only minor injuries at around 11am on Monday when she lost control of her Peugeot 307 on a roundabout in Alicante.

The car crashed through safety barriers before plunging onto a tram stop five metres below.

The 18-year-old driver was taken to hospital with shock; no one else was injured and a crane cleared the wreckage in 20 minutes.

The 18-year-old passed her driving test only two months ago.
