A forklift was used to get a luxury sports car back on the road after it flipped and landed on its roof on a railway line.

Two men in the GBP70,000 (USD119,000) Maserati Spyder V8 convertible were lucky to escape with only minor injuries.

An Evening Times report said the driver, 25, and passenger, 19, were rushed to hospital after the car left the A8 near Braehead Industrial Estate, Glasgow.

Workers took two hours to tip the car back on to its wheels with the aid of the forklift. Picture courtesy of The Evening Times.
