A man suffered pelvic and abdominal injuries after getting trapped in the roll bar of a mechanical digger which toppled over.
Paramedics from Corringham were called to a house on the A128 in Bulphan.
The man, who is in his 30s, had tried to get out of the cab in the two-tonne digger as it toppled over, but was obstructed by the vehicle's roll bar.
He had managed to get out of the vehicle by the time the crew arrived, but was suffering pain in his abdomen, hips and legs.
He was given fluids and taken to Basildon Hospital for treatment.
