The crash happened just outside the gates at the roundabout linking Frinton Road and Connaught Avenue, at about 9.30am this morning.

Firefighters were called to cut the driver from the overturned vehicle.

The driver was put into the care of the ambulance service – it is not yet clear if any injuries were sustained.
