A MAN has been left with serious injuries following a crash in Wivenhoe.
A BMW crashed into a tree in Brightlingsea Road, near the junction with Colchester Road, at about 7.10pm last night.
The driver, a man in his 20s from Manningtree, was taken to Colchester General Hospital with serious injuries.
He was the only person in the car and no other vehicles were involved in the accident.
Firefighters were called to cut the roof off the car to get him out, and he was freed just before 8pm.
Any witnesses, or anyone with information about events leading to the crash should contact an officer at the Stanway road policing office on 101.
