A BMW 3 series convertible had been involved in a crash with a Land Rover.

The driver of the BMW had suspected lower back injuries and this meant removing him from the vehicle on a special board to prevent further injury.

Firefighters had to cut through the roof mechanism to allow the roof to be folded down.

The man was removed from the vehicle and taken to hospital for treatment.
