Firefighters had to rescue a man trapped on Christmas Eve after he drove his convertible into the side of a village primary school.

The black BMW 3 Series came off Corsham Road at around 11.49pm on Tuesday, and crashed into Shaw C of E Primary School.

Emergency services arrived on the scene at midnight and fire crews worked to free the male driver, before he was taken from the school by paramedics.

The crash happened while the Christmas service at Christ Church was taken place next door, with many of the congregation walking past when the service ended.
