AN 86-year-old man had to be rescued from his car last night after it flipped over in Sandridge.

Police closed the road by the Rose and Crown pub after a blue Skoda Yeti and a silver Toyota Avensis collided at around 7.30pm.

A man was taken to Watford General Hospital by ambulance after sustaining minor injuries.

Both vehicles were recovered and the road was reopened just after 8pm.
