Fire crews from Kimbolton and Huntingdon, as well as the rescue vehicle from Huntingdon, helped free the driver of the lorry, after his vehicle entered a ditch. Fire fighters used specialist cutting equipment to free the man and a winch to lift the tractor out of the way. The casualty was taken to hospital via air ambulance, but his injuries were not thought to be life-threatening.
The road was reopened later that afternoon.
