Two people taken to hospital after VW Golf and truck crash and end up in a hedge

The incident occurred on the outskirts of Ellesmere, on Overton Road, at around 11.30am on Friday.

Ellesmere Fire Brigade has released an update on the accident and said two people were taken to hospital by the ambulance service.

A post from the fire department’s social media account on Friday evening said: “At 11.31am this morning we were mobilized to reports of a Road Traffic Collision (RTC) with people trapped, on the outskirts of Ellesmere on Overton Road .

“We are pleased to report that the occupants were able to free themselves prior to our arrival.

“The teams provided care to the victims, with two occupants taken to hospital by land ambulance.

“We then made the vehicles electrically safe and handed the place over to the police.

“Large vehicles pose additional challenges for our crews, including working at height, independent movement of the seat, cabin and wheel suspension (making it difficult to stabilize the vehicle) and, of course, any risk posed by the load that the vehicle transports.

“We train hard for various scenarios to be there when you need us. Stay safe.”
