The Ford Fiesta was travelling around the Stourbridge Ring Road when the driver lost control shortly before midnight on Saturday.

Fire crews from Stourbridge and Brierley Hill stations were called to the scene but the occupants all managed to get out of the vehicle before they reached the wreckage.

Fortunately none of them were badly hurt but a 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

West Midlands Police spokeswoman Caroline Schubert confirmed: "Officers were called to a car which had hit a lamp post on Stourbridge Ring Road and ended up on its roof. There were no serious injuries."

She added: "A 22-year-old man was arrested at the scene for drink driving."
