Fire crews cut driver from car after crash

A driver had to be cut from her car following a crash in the west of the Island.

The emergency services were called out on Thursday night after two vehicles collided on the Switchback Road.

One of the drivers was able to get out of the car with minor injuries, but the second motorist was trapped by the damage to her car while also suffering from back pain.

Fire crews from Peel and Douglas had to remove the side and roof of her car, as well as part of a tree.

Police, ambulance crews and fire officers were in the area for almost two hours clearing the scene.
