A van driver was airlifted to hospital after his van crashed into a hedgerow and overturned.

The accident happened on the B4220, between Bromyard and Acton Green, at around 11.45am on Friday, August 12.

The white Citroen van was travelling towards Acton Green when it failed to negotiate a right-hand bend. It hit the verge and hedge on the opposite side of the road, turning on its side and trapping the driver.

He was freed by firefighters and treated by paramedics, before being taken by air ambulance to Worcester Royal Infirmary.

Police are keen to speak to anyone who saw the accident or the van immediately prior to the crash. Call Sgt Mike Doolan on 08457 444888.
