A driver has been taken to hospital after a car rolled on to its side and a 4x4 landed on top of a barrier during a crash at an accident blackspot.

It happened at the Boots Bridge junction, between Manea and Wimblington in the Cambridgeshire Fens, on Wednesday afternoon.

Police said one of the drivers was being treated at Hinchingbrooke Hospital with minor injuries.

The road was closed for a short time while the vehicles were recovered and Cambridgeshire Highways made the barrier safe.

Witnesses to the crash, which happened at about 14:50 BST, have been asked to contact police.

Recently, new road markings and signs were installed at the waterside crossroads to try to limit the number of crashes.
