A Thornton man in his 90's had to be cut free from his car after he ran it through the back wall of his garage.

The Air Ambulance even landed on a nearby field near the Bourne Poacher when it was feared the man might need to be airlifted to hospital. In the event it wasn't needed, but drew a large crowd at around 6pm.

Fire crews cut the man free from his car but he didn't need hospital treatment.
