Alan Dodd, of Shrewsbury, stopped on Wednesday morning and took photos showing the 2006-built car on its roof with mud splattered on the underside.

Mr Dodd said: "It had left one tyre mark over the grass as if it had gone up on two wheels on its side and fell over."

Mr Dodd reckons the driver had misjudged a bend in the road and gone straight in to the field.

A check of the car's registration plate with the DVLA showed that the 06-registered two axle rigid body car is taxed and has an MOT until July. It's last V5C (logbook) had been issued in July last year.
