When crews arrived on the scene they found the woman in her 30s trapped in her Honda Civic. Using hydraulic cutting equipment firefighters removed the roof and driver’s door of the vehicle.

Working alongside paramedics crews then assisted the woman on to a spinal board and she was taken to hospital suffering from suspected spinal injuries.

The driver of the HGV was unhurt during the incident.
