Firefighters at the scene said they quickly established that no one had been injured and all occupants had been able to get free.

The on-scene fire crew from Newton Abbot Fire Station then worked to make the vehicle and the scene safe.

This was achieved by using battery-powered spreaders, which help gain access under the car's bonnet.
