A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl and her father had a lucky escape after the car they were travelling in over turned in High Wycombe.
Driver Steve Macken saw the picture of his crashed vehicle in Cock Lane on the Bucks Free Press website and said he had a “bad night” after falling victim to the elements.
He was quick to thank the “friendly and dependable people” who came to his aid.
He said: “Obviously I had a bit of a bad night. I had been trying to get out of Wycombe for hours and only had that hill to navigate up.
"I got a little way up and the wheels locked and I started sliding towards traffic – which was strange seeing as I'd been still in traffic all night.
“I tried to get into a car park and stop the car but hit and bank and the car just flipped over.
“It was a bit frightening, no-one was injured and the car did its job but it's just the fact we had a two-year-old standing out in the snow.
“I would like to send me appreciation to all the people, duty medics, nurses, duty special police officers, first aiders, and a gentleman called Andy who called the police and ambulance for us and generally looked after us.
“A few names I can remember at this point where Andy , Kerry and Barry. The other names I am struggling to recall but I do owe them all a huge debt of gratitude.
“It is could to know that in the most adverse of conditions good dependable people exist and are happy to lend a hand when you most need it.”
