THIS was the scene on the M53 this morning after a driver collided with a tree during a downpour on the M53. 

But luckily the motorist was not injured.

The NW Motorway Police posted this incredible image on their social media pages with many followers commenting what a lucky escape it was for the driver.

One comment added: "Ask this driver to choose my lottery numbers."

While another added: "What the heck was that before it became a tangled mess? Think there was a very lucky driver there."

The incident occured around 8am this morning, Tuesday, between junction two and one nortbound on the M53. 

An ambulance was called but the driver was only taken to hospital as a 'precaution'.
