FISH in car accident survives

An accident victim thrown 15 feet through the air when a car overturned in a motorway smash is swimming again as normal.

Bercy, a four-year-old goldfish, flew out of a fish tank and was hurled clear of the vehicle following an accident on the M1 in Leicestershire, Britain

Police who arrived at the scene found the car sodden with water and littered in coloured gravel - prompting a hunt for the missing victim . As paramedics treated owner Sophia Underhill, 23, for neck and arm injuries, officers combed the northbound carriageway.

"Officers discovered a fish tank lying empty in the footwell, which had obviously been upended in the collision," said a police spokeswoman. "Realising that people don't usually transport a fish tank full of water unless there's fish is in it, Sergeant Mark Watling searched the car but to no avail. Shortly afterwards, officers who were sweeping up glass from the carriageway, found a small goldfish in the middle of lane three, about 15 feet from where the car had landed."

Though police assumed that the fish could not have survived the impact and 15 minutes spent out of his tank, officers took the little victim to an ambulance crew.

"In a last attempt to revive him, an officer took Bercy to the paramedics who provided a cardboard tray and some water," said the spokeswoman. "Amazingly, Bercy started to swim around as soon as he was put in the water."

Underhill, who suffered minor cuts in the accident, and Bercy are fully recovered.
