A WOMAN in her 20’s was cut free from her car after it ended up in a ditch in Benwick near Ramsey last night (Wednesday).
Doctors from emergency medical charity Magpas issued painkillers and sedation to the woman, who had a suspected serious spinal injury.
Fire crews worked to remove the car doors and the roof so the woman could be freed from the vehicle as gently as possible.
She was then escorted by Magpas to Peterborough City Hospital in a land ambulance.
