CCTV footage from a narrow country lane shows a silver Citroen Saxo losing control and skidding 90 degrees before hitting the grass verge and flipping over, throwing the young female motorist from the out-of-control car.
According to Sussex Police, the driver, a woman in her 20s, suffered only minor injuries but “it could have been far worse”.
Sergeant Dan Pitcher said: “We would urge all motorists to take care on the roads around Sussex, particularly in the icy conditions when some areas can be unpredictable.
“Listen out for road noise – if this disappears at any stage, it may mean you are driving on ice.
