GAZETTE & HERALD: A pensioner was air- lifted to hospital after her car collided with another on the Grittleton to Yatton Keynell Road on Saturday morning.

The 66-year-old woman driving a Ford Fiesta was pulling out onto the main road at the West Sevington crossroads at around 10.10am.

A Vauxhall Corsa driven towards Yatton Keynell by a man in his thirties came over the brow of the hill, around the bend and hit the Ford Fiesta.

The man's young daughter was a passenger in the car but they were both uninjured.

The woman was trapped in her vehicle for 40 minutes and was cut out by firefighters.

She was taken to Great Western Hospital in Swindon by police helicopter. Police said her injuries were not serious.

The man and his daughter were collected by relatives and taken home.

The section of road surrounding the accident was closed for around an hour whilst the vehicles were recovered.

Postmaster Steve Cardwell who runs the post office in Yatton Keynell said a number of accidents had happened at that crossroads. "It is a deadly little junction," he said.
