Sunday 11 May
23.22 Limeburn Hill, Chew Magna
The driver of a Ford Transit van was rescued by firefighters
after a road traffic collision left the vehicle embedded in the
roof of a garage.
A total of three appliances from Chew Magna and Bristol
attended the property on Limeburn Hill, Chew Magna, following
the incident.
The vehicle had left the road, colliding with a telegraph pole
and a hedge, before coming to rest on top of the walls
and roof timbers of the domestic garage.
Although the male driver was not trapped in the van, his
precarious position meant firefighters were required to carry
out a safe rescue. Crews entered the property and put a
ladder up to the passenger window so the driver could be
released. He was then taken to hospital by ambulance personnel with
minor injuries.
Firefighters also worked to make the vehicle safe ahead of
its recovery.
