AN air ambulance was called after a driver smashed into a tree.

A man suffered chest and arm pain in the crash on the A46, near Evesham, at around 10.25am today [September 26].

He was taken by land ambulance to Worcestershire Royal Hospital. ‎

Rachel Scudamore said: "Air ambulance landed by the football island on A46, avoid at all costs, traffic built up. A46 at a standstill."

CORRECTION: The ambulance service originally told us that the accident happened in Dumbleton. This was incorrect.
