A WOMAN has been airlifted to hospital after she was trapped in her for more than hour after during a four-car pile-up in Droitwich.
The woman in her 50s was released from her vehicle at about 8.30am today (Tuesday) after the emergency services were called to the crash on the A442 near Hampton Lovett.
She was cut free and taken to the Worcestershire Royal Hospital by the Midlands Air Ambulance with suspected leg fractures.
A man in his 60s was also helped out of his car and was treated for minor injuries and shock whilst a man in his 20s managed to free himself from the crash and was given pain relief before the two were also taken to the hospital.
An ambulance spokesman said: “Crews arrived to find four cars that had been in a collision, two of which had suffered substantial damage.
“The driver of one of those cars, a woman in her 50s, was trapped as a result of the damage.
“After ambulance crews assessed her, they worked closely with the fire service to carefully cut her free, a process which involved cutting the roof from her car.
“She was treated for a suspected fractured right leg, immobilised and given pain relief before being airlifted to Worcester Royal Hospital.
“The driver of the fourth vehicle was uninjured in the collision.”
