A WOMAN was flown to James Cook Hospital with serious leg injuries after a collision on the A167 at Breckenbrough Hall, near Thirsk, North Yorkshire.

The accident happened around 6pm on Tuesday and two people were reported trapped.

The Yorkshire Air Ambulance and the Great North Air Ambulance were called to the scene, along with road ambulances, the fire service and police.

A spokesman for the Great North Air Ambulance said a doctor and paramedic worked with emergency crews to get the injured out.

“Having the doctor on board allowed the administration of strong painkilling drugs,” a spokesman said. “(The woman) was flown to James Cook regional trauma centre in just eight minutes.”

The injured woman is said to be 21-years-old and local and her condition was described as stable on arrival.
