A MAN was rescued by firefighters after his car overturned and left the road on the A35.

Police said the crash happened between Bere Regis and Poole, near the Bloxworth turning, shortly before 10am today.

The man had to be cut free because his arm was crushed between the ground and his vehicle.

A Dorset Police spokesman said the man was taken to Poole Hospital with suspected serious injuries.
