A kind stranger rushed to help a delivery driver after his van overturned in Liverpool city centre.
Justin was delivering food to restaurants on Hanover Street when the Ford transit van he was driving flipped onto its side outside Bistro Franc. The 30-year-old, who asked to be referred to by his first name, said was driving around a van which was parked on the corner of Hanover Street, when another vehicle pulled out of a side street.

Justin said: "I tried to keep it on all fours but it was going. I just felt it turning and jumped straight out.
"I had to stand on the arm rest to climb out. I'm still shaking a bit now. A passerby just came over and helped us out, he was standing on his tiptoes to hold the door open for me.
"I didn't even get chance to say thank you to him, I think he went to work. Everyone came over and started asking if I was alright."
Justin had just made a delivery to Salt House Tapas on Hanover Street and was on his way to Hanover Street Social when the incident occurred. He managed to escape uninjured and was checked over by an ambulance at the scene.
Road closures were put in place along a section of Hanover Street, from the Novotel to Albert's Schenke on the corner with Duke Street, while the van was recovered. Footage shows the van being flipped back upright by a recovery vehicle.
A Merseyside Police spokesperson said: "Police were called at around 8.40am today to Hanover Street in the city centre after reports of a van had overturned in the road. The van was a Ford transit van and it is believed there are no injuries and the driver is OK.
"The road is closed from the junction of Parr Street to the junction of Duke Street. This is while the clean up takes place. It is believed the van contained bread and vegetables."
