Two Devon car crashes leave occupants trapped inside vehicles

Firefighters are currently trying to remove a member of the public who is trapped inside their vehicle after a car accident.

Crews from Colyton and Seaton have been at the incident, at Old Stone Lodge, near Axmouth, since just after 4pm.

They were called to the incident after a report of a two vehicle road traffic collision where one vehicle had overturned, trapping the occupant. On arrival the fire crews found that one vehicle had left the road and gone into a field and the occupant was confirmed to be trapped.

Crews are at work making efforts to release the casualty using hydraulic rescue equipment.

This instant is currently ongoing.

This is the second incident of its kind today for Devon's firefighters.

At 4.05pm two appliances from Tiverton and the Heavy Rescue Tender from Middlemoor were called to attend a road traffic collision involving one car precariously positioned within hedge.

Crews immediately set about stabilising the vehicle with one person still trapped within, uninjured. 

Crews used one winch and small tools were used to make the vehicle safe. The female driver was removed unharmed from the vehicle.
