Fire crews from Dover freed a woman who was trapped in her vehicle after a crash.

They were called to Honeywood Road in Whitfield yesterday at 12.45pm.

Fire crews used hydraulic rescue equipment to release the woman, believed to be in her late 40s.

It was a one vehicle crash in which it is believed the driver came off the road, crossed the pavement and crashed into a bush.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue said: "We cleared the area around the car to be able to get in and get her out. The ambulance couldn't get her out successfully so that is why we attended."

Fire crews were at the scene for around half an hour before passing the woman into the care of the ambulance service.

Her injuries are not yet known.
