A DRIVER escaped with just minor injuries after his car ended up on its side earlier this morning.
A pump from Wokingham Road Fire Station, two ambulances and Thames Valley Police were called out to a section of Shinfield Road, close to the University of Reading, after being informed a Nissan Qashqai had collided into a lamppost just before 7.40am.
Upon arrival the emergency services found the vehicle on its side and blocking one lane of the road, but the occupant, a man, had managed to get out.
He was treated at the scene, while firefighters made the vehicle safe.
No official conclusion as to what happened has been disclosed, although it has been suggested the car may have skidded on the wet surface.
