A vehicle had impacted a wall and come to rest on its side and the driver of the vehicle was trapped by their foot.

Crews stabilised the vehicle and assisted the driver out through the rear of the vehicle.

The driver was transported to hospital for precautionary checks and the incident was left with the police who closed the road temporarily to allow the recovery of the vehicle.

The Neighbourhood Policing Team were then dispatched to await Highways to attend due to the amount of oil and other fluids on the road.

This meant that there was a partial closure under traffic direction.

The road is now fully open, however there were two further collisions due to the bad weather.

Everyone walked away without injury.
