EMERGENCY services have been called to a Herefordshire village after a lorry crashed into a hedge.
The fire service said it sent four crews to the village near Kington where the lorry, pictured leaning precariously against a hedgerow, had left the road.
A spokesperson for Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service said the uninjured driver was out of the articulated lorry before the crews from Hereford, Leominster, Kington and Kingsland got to the scene.
