Police, fire and ambulance crews attended the scene, close to the prison entrance in Kirkham Road, at around 9.20am.

Footage of the emergency response was shared on social media (see below).

The driver appeared to lose control on a bend and smashed through a wooden fence into a farmer’s field. An air ambulance landed nearby with medics attending to the injured driver.

A road closure was put in place between Lower Lane and Freckleton Road while the emergency response unfolded. The road has since reopened.

Lancashire Police were approached for comment.
