Fire and rescue teams had to cut the roof off a car to rescue passenger trapped inside

New Road, Coleorton was closed for over an hour as rescue crews tried to retrieve the stranded passenger. Three other people in the car had already managed to escape, but the roof had to be fully removed to save the fourth. Another car was damaged in the incident.

Once out they were driven to hospital. No one else was hurt.
