FIRE crews had to use cutting gear to free a person from a vehicle following a road traffic collision on Pork Hill near Tavistock last week.

Two fire crews from Tavistock were called to the incident, which occurred around 1.30am on Friday, April 20.

On arrival the firefighters found one person was free, but another was trapped inside the car. Once released, both casualties were treated by ambulance personnel at the scene and then taken to hospital.
