The man is in a critical condition after suffering a severe head injury, according to local reports.

The crash happened at around 2.10pm, when emergency services were alerted to a vehicle leaving the A-45.

The driver, who was the only person involved, is believed to have lost control of the car and slammed into a wall at the side of the road, which collapsed on impact.

The vehicle then fell several metres, crashing into the river below.
