 A woman has been freed from her car after a road traffic collision during icy conditions on the motorway.

When crews arrived on the scene they found the woman unable to get out of her Citroen C2 after hitting the barrier at the side of the motorway.

Using hydraulic spreading equipment firefighters opened the door of the vehicle and assisted the woman out. She was then taken to hospital by ambulance, although her injuries are thought to be minor.
