Crash near Frome on Saturday
Fire engines from both Frome and Radstock were sent to Kilmersdon after the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service control room received calls from Avon and Somerset Police about a single-vehicle crash at 7 am on Saturday, June 6.
According to the police, the road traffic collision left a car overturned after coming to rest on its side, trapping one person inside.
On arrival at the scene, fire crews confirmed the car had left the highway and come to rest in a field, and they set to work stabilising the vehicle.
Fire crews then worked with South Western Ambulance Service NHS Trust personnel to come up with a plan to extricate the casualty safely.
By around 8.30am, the incident was brought under control after crews removed the windscreen of the car and guided the 'casualty' out through it safely.
Once released from the vehicle, the 'casualties' were left in the hands of the ambulance crews at the scene.
