CAR IMPALED BY WOOD PLANKS, BUT PASSENGERS SURVIVE
Witness Ricky Wade, 26, took photos of the crash and said the driver - the only occupant of the car - was lucky to escape with no injuries.
He said: "I was across the road in my friend's pizza shop when I heard this loud bang.
"I saw the traffic stop and I went running over with a mate. We made sure the person was OK.
"I took some pictures. He got out the car with no marks or cuts. He looked a bit shaken up but he was bloody lucky really. It's a miracle he escaped without a scratch.
"An ambulance was passing and stopped, and made sure he was all right. He refused to go to hospital. Police turned up and closed the road for about an hour."
A spokesman for Lincolnshire Police said it was called to the crash at about 6.40 pm last Tuesday and confirmed there were no injuries.
