The driver was taken to Lincoln County Hospital with what are described as minor injuries.

Two other passengers, both men, aged 47 and 24 were also taken to the County Hospital suffering minor injuries. All three occupants are from the Farndon and Newark area.

The road was closed to allow emergency services to treat the casualties and reopened around 12.20am on Tuesday.

PC Michael Swaby is asking anyone who witnesses the crash or who saw the car being driven along the A46 prior to the collision to contact him. People should call the non-emergency number 101, quoting incident 442 August 31.
