A driver was lucky to survive a rollover in the southeast, never mind walk away with relatively minor injuries.

Police say just after 1:00 a.m. Friday, a woman lost control of her car on Bow Bottom Trial just past Diamond Drive.

The vehicle rolled several times.

Duty Inspector Paul Stacey says first responders thought the crash might have been fatal.

But after being checked out in hospital, doctors found she’d only suffered a few broken bones.

Stacey says speed and alcohol were factors in the crash.
