FIREMEN had to cut free and plumber from the wreckage of his van after he crashed into a lamp post early on Saturday.
The plumber, a 52-year-old Bury man, was driving along Bell Lane, Bury, at 5.10am when his van hit the lamp post.
In the impact the tools were shoved forward, trapping the driver in his seat against the windscreen. Firemen removed the tools from the back of the van and forced open the driver's door to free him.
He was taken by ambulance to Fairfield General Hospital with minor leg injuries.
