       After the car veered out of its lane, his female passenger jumped out and ran to the motorway's hard shoulder for safety.

       Both the driver and the passenger escaped unscathed.

       A Thames Valley Police spokesperson said: "Officers are appealing for witnesses following a road traffic collision on the M40 near to junction two, which occurred on Tuesday.

       "At just after 2pm, a black Volkswagen Touran was travelling on the M40 towards London.

       "Near to junction two on the London-bound carriageway at Beaconsfield, the vehicle collided with the central reservation and came to a stop.

       "The woman passenger exited the vehicle and made her way towards the hard shoulder of the motorway."
