A lucky Audi driver cheated death when his £40,000 car was flattened by an 18-tonne lorry during a horrific crash.

Stunned police said it was a ‘miracle’ the driver walked away with only minor injuries following the accident that took place on the M6 in the early hours of today.

Dramatic images show a white Audi A5 wedged under the HGV between Junction 8 and Junction 9 near Walsall, West Midlands.

It is understood the driver crashed into the back of the lorry which was stationary at the time.

Central Motorway Police Group (CMPG) tweeted photographs of the crash scene which closed the motorway in both directions for two hours.
