A woman in her 70s had to be cut free from the car she was travelling in, after it was involved in a crash with another car on the Sheppey bound carriageway of the A249. Kent Fire and Rescue Service was called to the incident and the crews used cutting gear to remove the roof of her car to gain access to her, as she was trapped by her injuries. Firefighters and paramedics worked together to carefully transfer the woman into the ambulance. Crews made the scene safe.
