Car
and ambulance damaged in ice accidents near Burnham-On-Sea
The
occupants of this car were fortunate to avoid serious injuries
after they slid off an icy road into a ditch near Burnham-On-Sea
on Saturday afternoon (February 4th) and an ambulance was also
damaged while attending the crash scene.
The
driver of the red Citroen Saxo lost control on the A370 in East
Brent at 4.30pm following a period of snowfall, featured here.
An
ambulance and police officers from Burnham were called to the
scene - and, while attending, a separate vehicle also slid into
the ambulance, causing minor damage.
Inspector
Roger Tolley from Burnham Police told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The
road conditions were dangerous due to adverse weather on Saturday
afternoon."
"The
car skidded on the ice into a ditch and, whilst the ambulance
crew were at the scene, a car also went into the back of it. Fortunately,
there were no serious injuries."
