A driver escaped with minor injuries after being trapped in his car for half an hour after he crashed into railings and a lamppost in Wolverhampton today.
The incident happened in Bilston Road, Ettinghsall, shortly before 3.30am.
West Midlands Ambulance Service sent an ambulance and a paramedic area support officer to the scene.
Am ambulance service spokesman said: "On arrival crews discovered a lot of damage to the front end and windscreen of the car, as well as to railings and a lamppost.
"There was one patient, a man who was the driver of the vehicle and thought to be in his 30s.
"Following assessment from crews it became apparent that the man had been fortunate to escape with only minor injuries, including a minor head injury.
"However, he still had to be cut free from the car and ambulance staff immobilised him prior to working closely with the fire service to get him out through the roof. Once free he was transported to New Cross Hospital.
"Considering the damage at the scene, the man is fortunate not to have suffered more serious injuries."
