A WOMAN had to be airlifted to hospital on Wednesday night for treatment to injuries suffered during a three-car collision in Warfield.
Crews from Bracknell and Ascot fire stations spent around two hours delicately cutting the lady, who is beileved to be in her 60s, out the Honda she was driving along Maidenhead Road following the incident, which happened around 6.15pm.
She is said to have had serious leg injuries.
It is understood her vehicle clipped another car before crashing head on into a third, leaving the woman trapped among the wreckage as a result.
The collision was phoned in by an off-duty crew manager at one of the stations who came upon the incident. He provided first aid to those involved while his colleagues rushed out to the scene.
They would use hydraulic cutting equipment to free the trapped woman before she was flown to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford by the Air Ambulance.
Another two people involved in the collision were described as “walking wounded” and treated for minor injuries and shock by paramedics from South Central Ambulance Service.
The road was closed in both directions for several hours, and would remain blocked to traffic when the two fire engines and two officers stood down just before 9pm.
