A man was taken to hospital in a serious condition last night after his car rolled off the A1(M) near Baldock Services and landed on its roof.

Emergency services were called to the scene near Junction 10 at about 10pm after reports that a man was trapped inside a black Volkswagen Golf.

The man, who is in his 40s, was removed from the car and sedated, before being taken to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge with pelvis and back injuries.

He arrived by ambulance in a stable but serious condition, but his current condition is not known.

The vehicle was recovered and the incident was dealt with by 3am.
