Casualty taken to hospital by air ambulance following two-vehicle crash on A361 near Greinton

Two casualties were taken to hospital, including one by air ambulance, following a two-vehicle crash on the A361 near Greinton yesterday evening (May 4).

Just after 6pm, fire crews from Bridgwater, Street and Glastonbury were sent to a report of a two-vehicle road traffic collision on the A361 between Greinton and Greylake.

On arrival the crews confirmed that two people were trapped, one in each vehicle.

Due to the nature of the incident, a further two fire engines were requested to attend to provide extra personnel and equipment. These were sent from Bridgwater and Wells.

Both casualties were released from the vehicles by fire crews using hydraulic rescue equipment, and the road was closed for a number of hours while this work took place.

One casualty was conveyed to hospital via air ambulance and the other via road ambulance.
