One person's been hurt after a car rolled-over on Flookburgh beach in Cumbria.

Furness Coastguard - one of the emergency services to attend the Easter Monday incident - say the driver had been "doing donuts" in the sand when wheels dug in and it toppled.

Cumbria Police and fire crews and the North West Ambulance service were also at the scene.

Bay Search & Rescue's specialist all-terrain vehicles were called in to right the vehicle and tow it away due to the pollution risk in a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
