"Emergency services at the scene worked together to help free the woman, who was trapped in her vehicle for over an hour. The woman, believed to be 21 years of age, was treated for injuries to her head, pelvis and leg.

"She was given advanced pain relief at the scene and was fully immobilised before being conveyed to the major trauma centre at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham.
