Crews free trapped driver after collision in Stoke-on-Trent

We received a call at about 10.57am regarding a two-vehicle RTC near to the Festival Park retail park on the A53 Etruria Road in Etruria, Stoke-on-Trent.

The call was from the police who informed us a car had been left on its side after being in collision with a lorry and a person was trapped inside.

Crews from Hanley and Newcastle were mobilised and the first crew arrived on-scene at 11.15am. Using Holmatro cutting gear, they began freeing the female driver from the vehicle.

Highways were also requested to clear debris from the carriageway.
