A MAN sustained a broken leg in a serious collision on the Hereford to Brecon Road at Whitney-on-Wye on Sunday.

A white Ford Fiesta van, which was travelling from Hay-on-Wye towards Winforton, collided with a stone wall and a telegraph pole while negotiating a right-hand bend on the A438.

The van overturned and ended up on its roof on the opposite carriageway. The male driver suffered minor injuries but his front seat passenger sustained a broken leg.

The van was badly damaged and both men were taken to Hereford County Hospital. Diversions were put in place for 12 hours.

Anyone who saw the van before the collision can call PC Martin Brown on 08457 444888.
