Fire crews were also sent from Newport and Hodnet, along with the rescue tender from Wellington and an operations officer from headquarters. Describing the scene as a"significant collision" between a car and a large goods vehicle, they worked closely with the critical care doctor and paramedics to carefully extract the driver by carrying out a side removal, roof flap and dashboard lift on the car utilising hydraulic cutters, spreaders and rams.
