Several fire crews, which included one from Oxfordshire, were called out after a lorry was tipped over onto its side in Bucks.
At around 8am on Tuesday, June 29, crews from Buckingham, three from Aylesbury, and one from Bicester Fire Stations visited a landfill site in Brackley Lane on Calvert Green in the Aylesbury Vale, where they released an injured woman from the wreckage.
Once she was freed, the woman was given oxygen, before she was left in the care of the South Central Ambulance Service, according to Bucks Fire and Rescue.
She was later taken to hospital but as reported by the Oxfordshire Fire & Rescue Service Facebook page, the driver ‘was not seriously trapped’ and is believed to have only suffered ‘minor injuries.
