A crane driver has been seriously injured as the vehicle "toppled over" as it loaded a ship.

The man's legs were feared to have been crushed when the crane fell on to a container ship being loaded at Southampton port, in Hampshire.

Thirteen firefighters helped get the crane driver out of the cab and he was airlifted to the dockside by the Coastguard helicopter before being taken to hospital by ambulance.
