A man trapped in a van had to be rescued following a crash involving a tractor on the A34 yesterday morning.

Emergency services were called to the scene during rush hour where they found a Luton van blocking the A34 and a tractor on its side. The person was saved after crews removed the van door and rammed the dashboard.
