Emergency services raced to the scene after a car flipped over in Portsmouth tonight, trapping two people inside.
The accident happened just before 10pm on Sunday on New Road in Copnor. Police shut the road near Pam’s Flower Shop and also closed Copnor Bridge to clear the way for rescuers.
Fire crews from Southsea, paramedics from South Central Ambulance Service, and police arrived swiftly. Firefighters had to use specialist cutting tools to release the two trapped passengers from the silver Nissan Micra that had overturned.
Both victims were freed and treated at the scene before being rushed to Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth by ambulance. Roads have now reopened following the emergency response.
