"The car had suffered a significant amount of damage and the male driver was found to be trapped," said a spokesman from Market Drayton Fire Station. 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.
