A lorry became wedged after it left the road and smashed through a fence at an industrial estate in Nottingham.
Nottinghamshire Police said it was called at 04:15 GMT on Wednesday after the lorry and its trailer left the road and crashed into an industrial unit in Wingate Close.
The driver, a man in his 60s, was freed from the wreckage and taken to hospital, where he is being treated for injuries not believed to be life-altering.
The lorry is now stuck between the industrial unit building and the slope leading up the damaged fence while police inquiries continue.
