Firefighters in Bridport have helped rescue a man after his foot became trapped.

He was caught between a 1 tonne bag of soil on a pallet and the loading platform on his lorry.

The two crews from Bridport Fire Station used inflatable airbags.

A spokesman said:

"Crews stabilised the load so that it couldn't move any further and then using inflatable airbags and a bit of brute force released the driver.

"The driver was checked over and no major injuries were found."
