A LORRY driver had to be freed from his cab after overturning on the A420 at Bridgeyate.

Fire crews from Kingswood, Bath and Avonmouth were called to the road traffic collision at 5.28am this morning (April 30).

Firefighters used a working platform to access the cab and free the driver – a man in his 50s.

The road was closed whilst he was freed and is expected to remain closed for some time whilst investigation and recovery work is carried out according to a spokesman for Avon Fire and Rescue.
