A driver had a lucky escape when he left the handbrake off his fiancee’s car and it rolled into a busy main road.
Ethan Bellingham, of Walsall, West Midlands, was caught on CCTV getting out of his fiancee Emma Freeman’s white BMW and walking towards the front door.
But as he disappears out of shot the car starts to roll towards the road, where cars are whizzing past.
Ethan Bellingham, of Walsall, West Midlands, stayed calm and collected after his fiancee’s car rolled onto a busy main road last night

The video, which was posted to TikTok, shows the vehicle slowly rolling down the driveway and towards the main road as multiple cars drive past.
Three cars are seen zooming past on the far side of the road as the vehicle rolled onto the street.
Amazingly, two cars that are approaching from both directions come to a safe halt, prompting the five vehicles behind to stop, after spotting the BMW in the middle of the road.
The rogue car then thankfully slows down and halts in the middle of the road – without causing any damage at all.
Mr Bellingham can then be seen walking towards the car and safely returning it back to the driveway.
Ms Freeman shared the footage last night, writing: ‘Someone’s looking over my car.

One replied: ‘The cars stopped like they were letting a duck cross the road. Hopefully there’s no damage done.’
Another added: ‘It always makes me giggle as the car waits to roll until the person gets out. It’s a bit like Toy Story.’
