A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “Crews arrived to find a car that had left the road and been in a significant collision with some trees.
“A man, believed to be in his 20s was trapped in the car which had suffered considerable side and front end damage when becoming wedged between some trees.
“He received emergency treatment for neck and back injuries at the scene whilst being freed by medics with the assistance of the fire service. It took an hour to free him due to the difficult location of where his car came to rest.
