A MAN in Ascot had to be rescued when he became pinned between a skip and a dumper truck.

Two fire crews and an ambulance were called to Prince Consort Drive at about 2.20pm this afternoon (September 18).

The victim, aged in his late 20s, was given a dose of Entonox, which is a mixture of medical nitrous oxide and oxygen.

A winch was attached to one of the fire vehicles in order to free him from the skip.

He was then rushed by ambulance to hospital where his condition is currently unknown. 

Watch manager Russell Gascoyne, of Wokingham fire station, said: "He had minor crush injuries to his leg but nothing broken.

"He was in an awful lot of pain."
