Version 0 of 1.

A van landed on its roof in a river after the driver crashed and went over the concrete barriers of a bridge.

The driver, who has not been named, was still behind the wheel when it landed in two feet of water in Avonwick, Devon at about 05:00 BST.

He was taken to Derriford Hospital with injuries after being removed from the van by fire crews and paramedics.

Devon and Somerset Fire Service used special rescue equipment to recover the van and the driver.

In 2008, a vehicle also crashed over the bridge into the River Avon.
