Driver who flipped car Christmas Day has this message for other drivers

"Just a reminder to everyone to please drive safely this Christmas. Just yesterday on the way to a family lunch for Christmas I fell asleep at the wheel, hit the curb and flipped my car multiple times before resting against a power pole. 

"I'm told I was extremely lucky to be alive seeing as the roof caved in and I was pinned between the seat and the roof. Although my car is now totaled, I'm just so very thankful that I survived this ordeal and very thankful for all the people that stopped their Christmas celebrations to come and help me. 

"Thank you to all the police, and ambulance officers that were very quick thinking and to the staff at the Regional Hospital Geraldton ED for putting up with me, being so caring and getting things done quickly. 

"So my message to everyone driving this Christmas, please don't work too hard and if you start to feel sleepy, please...PULL OVER no matter how much of a hurry you may be in. I was lucky to escape with my life, next time someone might not be as lucky."
