scene. A second man was taken to hospital for treatment to his in- juries, which are thought to be sig- nificant. The vehicle is understood to

Nearby residents believe the man’s car may have flipped after hitting a pothole. At the scene of the incident the following day, it was clear that branches had been sawn off to gain access to the stricken car and its oc- cupants. The vehicle had been re- moved from the scene within hours of the incident.
