Two injured as car crashes into shop

Friday 6 November
13.41 High Street, Keynsham 

A driver and a pedestrian have been taken to hospital after a car crashed into a shop window.

When firefighters arrived on the scene they found a pedestrian, a man in his 40s, already on a stretcher and being treated for suspected back injuries by paramedics.

The female driver of the Skoda Octavia car, thought to be in her 70s, was suffering from suspected back injuries so firefighters stabilised the vehicle before using hydraulic cutting equipment to remove the roof of the car.

The woman was then assisted on to a spinal board and taken to hospital.
