A woman was cut from her car and taken to hospital after her vehicle overturned in a crash in Stone.
West Midlands Ambulance Service was called to the junction of Longton Road and Nicholls Lane at around 5.25pm on Friday 13th April.
Two rapid response vehicles attended, one driven by a senior paramedic officer along with an ambulance crew and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Staffordshire.
A West Midlands Ambulance Service spokesman said: “It appears there was a collision involving two cars. The driver of the overturned car, a woman in her twenties, had shoulder and pelvic injuries and cuts and bruises. The fire service cut her free. Her condition was stabilised at the scene, splints were applied and she was placed on to a spinal board before being taken by land ambulance to the University Hospital of North Staffordshire.”
A Little Bit of Stone reader Liz Harvey witnessed the accident. She said: “It happened just in front of us. Thanks to a member of the public there wasn’t more of a pile-up as he turned all the traffic around. It happened in a really bad place and the traffic was speeding around those nasty bends and having to slam breaks on as the traffic mounted. When will folks ever learn that that road is lethal and cut their speed on the bends? My father went to loads of fatals on the bends there when he was in the police force.”
