Car plunges off cliff in Dorset trapping driver inside

Rescue teams worked through the night on Saturday to cut a driver free from their car after it fell off a cliff at Portland Bill in Dorset in the UK.

Emergency services were called to the scene at 11.15pm local time on Saturday night, following reports that the vehicle had crashed onto rocks next to the obelisk at Portland Bill lighthouse.

One casualty was trapped inside and rescuers had to work fast due to the incoming tide.

The casualty was cut from the wreckage and stretchered to safety.

They were then transferred by ambulance to Dorset County hospital.

The extent of their injuries isn't yet known.

The cause of the incident is being investigated.
