Two fire appliances from Middlemoor and Danes Castle were despatched to reports of an road collision on the B3179 between Clyst St George and Woodbury with persons reported trapped yesterday afternoon.
Crews confirmed on arrival one vehicle to be overturned on the highway with one female occupant trapped.
Crews were able to stabilise the car and used hydraulic rescue equipment to rescue the casualty and hand duty of care to the ambulance service.
Last Wednesday I had the pleasure (and I do mean pleasure) of not one, not two, but three Christmas performances to watch in one day. All very different, of course, but in their own way each one of them was special and warmed my heart. The first was at Pip-Kins Day Nursery, Barnfield Hill to watch our three-year-old (and three quarters) son taking part in a rousing post-lunch performance of 'Jingle Bells', 'When Santa got Stuck up the Chimney' and 'Twinkle, Twinkle Christmas Star'. Led by an enthusiastic Rosemary, Pat and Eileen, who visit the nursery on a regular basis for sing-alongs,...
Exeter International Airport has reminded passengers travelling to friends and relatives for the festive period that Christmas crackers are not permitted in hand/cabin baggage.
If the crackers are in a sealed box (original packaging, cellophane not broken) they may travel in hold (checked-in) baggage. However, party poppers are not permitted in hand or hold baggage.
There are no hand (cabin) baggage restrictions on Christmas cakes but passengers should be aware of the DfT 'Liquids' regulations and airline hand (cabin) baggage limits.
Customers waiting for the 57 service at Exeter Bus station were delighted to see they had a very special seasonal bus driver – Santa Claus!

In fact, Stagecoach are already getting letters and Facebook comments from happy customers who are saying how much he's cheered their day up with one mum commenting "It made my children's day and they haven’t stopped talking about...
Devon County Council leader John Hart will switch on the lights on a special Christmas tree to mark the topping out of a world class outdoor education and training centre in Exeter.
The £5.6 million centre on Haven Banks has now reached its highest point with the completion of the 25-metre climbing tower.
The centre itself will be completed in June. It will replace the existing, outdated activity centre on the canal basin.
The switch on of the Christmas tree – on top of the climbing tower – will be at 12 noon on Monday, 17th December.
Head coach Rob Baxter has spoken of his delight after another two of his current Exeter Chiefs squad this week committed their futures to the Devon club.
James Hanks and Ben White have followed the earlier lead of club-mates Chris Whitehead, Luke Cowan-Dickie, Will Chudley, Phil Dollman and Carl Rimmer in agreeing new deals that will keep them at Sandy Park for a further two years.
Hanks, who has to date made 176 appearances for the club, is one of the club’s longest-serving players having first made his debut for the Chiefs back in 2005 against the Cornish Pirates....
As the cold weather begins to take hold across the region South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is urging members of the public to choose well this winter.
Making only essential journeys during periods of severe weather, and taking extra care when outside walking on icy surfaces, can prevent many incidents.
The Trust is committed to delivering the Right Care in the Right Place at the Right Time, however, not all of the calls we receive warrant an ambulance response and the 999 ambulance service should only be used for emergency situations....
