Woman
cut free from vehicle by fire crews after accident
A
woman was rushed to hospital after being cut free from her vehicle
after a two-car accident on the A38, near Burnham-On-Sea.
The
road was closed for one and a half hours on Tuesday night, December
6th, following the incident, which involved a VW Golf and a Ford
Escort.
 Fire
appliances from Burnham and Weston were called to the scene at
11pm and had to use cutting machinery to pull the trapped woman
from her vehicle.
"She
was released by fire service personnel using road rescue equipment
and conveyed to hospital by ambulance," said a fire brigade
spokesman.
A
police spokesman told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "The woman's injuries
are not thought to be life threatening or life changing."
The
A38 did not fully re-open until 12.30am on Wednesday morning,
December 7th. The
accident occurred north of the A38 motorway roundabout, near to
the access road to the council depot.
