A WOMAN was freed from her car by fire crews this afternoon after crashing with a lorry in Bampton.

Three fire appliances and the heavy rescue vehicle attended the incident on Old Tiverton Road just before 1pm after reports from police of persons trapped in a road traffic collision between a car and lorry.

The female was trapped due to the door being blocked by the lorry and not medically trapped.

Crews were able to help assist in making the vehicle safe and enabling the female to evacuate the vehicle.
