Crashed car lands on wall

The man, who was driving a black Audi, was travelling along Hathersage Road, towards Dore, when he lost control on a sweeping bend.

He was in collision with a Toyota travelling on the opposite side of the road, spun out of control and smashed into the stone wall. The front of his car ended up on the grass verge with the back of the car teetering on top of a stone wall above a 30ft drop into scrubland.

The passersby helped him from the car and tended to him until paramedics arrived to take him to hospital for treatment for chest pains.

The driver of the other car, a pensioner, suffered back and neck pain.

Firefighters were called to the scene to make the vehicles safe.
