A man has survived despite his car plunging 50 feet down a Warwickshire quarry this morning.



The man, who is 38, managed to get out the Vauxhall Astra – which was on its roof - before paramedics reached the scene just off Hartshill Road in Mancetter at around 6am.

He was subsequently taken to Coventry’s University Hospital with a suspected fractured rib, punctured lung and broken pelvis.

The driver of the Honda his Astra collided with was treated at the scene for minor injuries.

Any witnesses are asked to contact Warwickshire Police on 01926 415 415 or Crimestoppers – anonymously – on 0800 555 111.
