Motorist cut free from car after accident shuts Highbridge town centre

Fire crews had to remove the roof of a vehicle after a two car collision shut the centre of Highbridge on Saturday morning (December 13th).

Burnham-On-Sea fire crews, ambulance and police officers were called to Church Street at 11.45am, as pictured here.

Fire crews used cutting equipment to remove the roof of a car in order to safely remove a female motorist inside who had suffered suspected spinal injuries.

She was taken by ambulance to Weston General Hospital for further treatment. The incident led to long delays in the area for motorists, with the road not re-opening for over an hour.
