He added that the driver of the Tiguan had suspected spinal injuries, leading to crews removing the roof of the vehicle.

The driver was taken out of the Tiguan on a long board to protect his neck and back before being transported to Royal Preston Hospital.

Fire crews were on the scene for around one hour.
