Stunned onlookers watched in horror on Monday when a car overturned on a busy stretch of the A5 after colliding with a lamppost.
The accident happened shortly before 9.45pm, close to the Packhorse pub in Kensworth.
Firefighters used specialist equipment to free the driver and he was taken to Luton & Dunstable Hospital by ambulance.
The man, who was driving a Vauxhall Astra estate, suffered injuries described as minor in the collision.
The lamppost was wrecked and electricians and highway repair technicians were called out to make it safe.
A police spokeswoman said: 'There was a large crowd around the accident, but if there is anyone who saw it and hasn't yet talked to police, we would like them to do so.'
