A man is recovering in hospital after his car crashed into a roundabout and flipped over.

The force of the impact caused the Lada to roll over and land on its roof in the middle of the roundabout at the junction of the new A130 and the old road.

The driver had to be cut from his car and was taken to Basildon Hospital where he is being treated for his injuries, which are not thought to be life-threatening.

Firefighters from Hadleigh, Rayleigh and Leigh all attended the crash at 5am yesterday.

A man is helping police with their inquiries.
