A man in his 30s whose car hit a wall in the early hours of this morning has been taken to hospital.

The incident happened just after 1am in Devonshire Gardens, Cliftonville.

Firefighters used hydraulic equipment to free the man.

Two paramedic crew cars and an ambulance crew attended the scene and moved the man onto a spinal longboard because he was complaining of back pain.

He was taken to the William Harvey Hospital.
