Van launched into the air during Attleborough crash

Dashcam footage has revealed the moment a van launched into the air after hitting a roundabout on the A11 in Norfolk.

The silver van had just overtaken another vehicle as it was approaching the junction on the dual carriageway near Attleborough on 1 September.

No other vehicles were involved and the van landed on the roundabout.

Three people suffered non life-threatening injuries in the crash, police said.

Not an unusual occurrence. A couple of years ago I saw a car crashed on the grass verge adjacent to a roundabout similar to that shown in the video, with an ambulance in attendance.
I'd noticed tyre marks on the sloping edge of the roundabout diametrically opposite to where the car had come to rest and a damaged sign, but the grass surface in the centre was unmarked.
The only conclusion that could be drawn was that the vehicle had been airborne for the entire crossing!
Earlier this week on the weekly food shopping trip there was a small car actually on a roundabout in a state of some disarray with a 'Police Aware' sticker on it.

I've only ever seen one accident happen and it frightened the living daylights out of me.
Both occupants survived but it's a mystery to me how they got away with it.

Heh... "Police Aware" is so adorably British. I can only imagine the American version of such a thing.
