The crews used cutting equipment to gain access to the vehicle and a thermal imaging camera was used to search the woods to ensure that no-one was thrown from the car.

A police spokesman said nobody suffered any serious injuries but that they are investigating an allegation of drink-driving.

Witnesses should call police on 101.
