A driver escaped with minor injuries after a van flipped onto its roof following a crash in Manchester city centre.
Three vehicles were involved in the smash on Regent Road (A57), close to the roundabout on Monday evening (August 29) - prompting the busy road to be taped off.
The westbound carriageway was temporarily blocked off, while police, paramedics and the fire service attended. Pictures from the scene showed the white van had flipped onto its roof, with a black BMW nearby also spotted with damage.
