Despite other vehicles continuing with their journey, several people were seen snapping photos of the one-car collision in Middlesbrough, which were then shared online.
It’s not clear at this time how the car came to land on the roundabout – but Cleveland Police have confirmed that they didn’t attend, due to the fact that there were no injuries.
A spokesperson for the police force said: “Police are aware but haven’t attended as the driver has arranged their own recovery and there were no injuries.”
Following the incident, those that posted the image online have received several comments – with most people poking fun at the unfortunate driver.
Speaking about the roundabout incident, one social media user said: “That’s the last time I’ll tell a taxi driver to go straight over the roundabout,” while another added: “You cannot park there.”
