One of the bridges over the River Trent in Nottingham has been closed after a lorry crashed.

The vehicle came off the road at Lady Bay Bridge, close to Nottingham Forest's City Ground, at 08:51 BST on Monday, police said.

It crashed down an embankment and fire crews freed one man who was taken to hospital, but there are currently no further details on his condition.

Motorists have been asked to find an alternative route.

The air ambulance attended but the casualty was taken to the Queen's Medical Centre in a road ambulance.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service said three crews responded to the crash but were stood down at about 10:30.
