One adult and two children were in the car when it overturned.

Firefighters attended to make the scene safe and help those inside to get out of the vehicle.

A spokesman for South Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust said: "We are still on scene. Two children and one adult were in the car, and managed to get out. There are no apparent injuries."
