A 22-YEAR-OLD male had a lucky escape after his car rolled on Jamberoo Mountain Rd yesterday afternoon.

The young man had been travelling east when he swerved to avoid a wombat and lost control of the vehicle, which flipped several times.

He walked away from his car with only minor cuts and a shoulder injury, an ambulance spokesman said.

Emergency service crews arrived to find the car's engine and exhaust system resting some distance away from the car body.
