Fire crews were called to the scene in Farndale Moor at 9.55am yesterday (Monday, January 22) during Storm Isha.
The van’s driver – a man in his 40s – was able to leave the vehicle and taken to a nearby pub to be given initial first aid by crews, a North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said.
He was then taken to hospital as a precaution, they added.
The crews made the vehicle and area safe before arranging its recovery.
