A 26-year-old Cinderford man was seriously hurt in a crash at Pope's Hill on Tuesday night.

The man received injuries to his legs when his red VW Golf collided with a white Peugeot Partner van near the Greyhound Inn.

The fire service cut the man out of the Golf and he was taken to Gloucestershire Hospital. The driver of the van, a 24-year-old man from Cinderford, suffered serious knee and ankle injuries not considered life threatening and was also taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital. A passenger in the van, a 17-year-old Cheltenham girl, received cuts and bruises.
