One person had to be taken to hospital after a car crashed into a lamppost in a busy High Wycombe road this afternoon.

Paramedics were called to Marlow Hill at 1.36pm following reports that a car had veered off the road.

The dark blue BMW can been seen on the grass verge, with its bonnet completely damaged after hitting a lamppost.

Pictures show the lamppost at a severely slanted angle following the crash.

An ambulance crew attended the scene and took one person to Stoke Mandeville Hospital with what are believed to be minor injuries. 

No details of the patient's age or gender have been released.
