A car flipped over during the fifth crash in just over a week in Ewell.

A man cut and bruised his arms and was taken to hospital after the collision in London Road at 6.25pm last night.

Epsom watch commander Sean Tickner said one of the two cars ended up on its roof, but nobody was trapped inside.

A South East Coast Ambulance spokesman said the occupant suffered arm injuries but still managed to get himself out of the "overturned" car.

A paramedic, who arrived in a car, and an ambulance crew checked the man over and took him to Epsom Hospital

Transport for London said the 293 bus was diverted to avoid the crash near Welbeck Close.
