An ambulance spokeswoman said: “When crews arrived they found a car which had left the road and collided with a tree.

The driver, a man, was being given CPR by bystanders and fire colleagues when crews arrived.




He was given advanced life support by the team of ambulance staff at the scene but sadly, despite their best efforts, nothing could be done to save the man and he was confirmed dead a short time later.”
