A 50-YEAR-OLD man had to be cut out of his car through the windscreen after he overturned into a ditch in Wingfield this afternoon. 

Police and fire crews rushed to the B3109, near Shop Lane, at around 1.45pm today after the man had become stuck in his car, which had flipped over into a ditch off the main road.  

Firefighters managed to free the man from the wreckage and carried out first aid, while they waited for the ambulance.

The man was taken to Bath's Royal United Hospital due to a head wound. 

That stretch along the B3109 was closed for just over an hour but it is now open.
