Overturned car on Telford driveway disrupts fire crew's animal rescue training
A fire crew in Telford had a training session disrupted after they were called out to a road traffic collision.
A car had flipped onto its roof in a crash involving two hatchbacks in St Georges Road, Donnington, at around 7.45pm on Tuesday night, Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service said.
Two fire engines were deployed, including the Amber Watch crew in Wellington, where fire crews were engaged in animal rescue training.
Detailing the incident on Facebook, Amber Watch Wellington said: "Interesting drill night for Amber Watch this evening. We started with some animal rescue training, which involved practicing the techniques we would use at real incidents.
"We then got alerted at 7.49pm to reports of a RTC in the Donnington area. On arrival, two cars were found to be involved, with one coming to rest on its roof.
"In order to ensure the vehicle was made safe, we requested the attendance of our wholetime colleagues with the Rescue Tender, who then used the HIAB to right the vehicle and allow us to make safe. Police and ambulance in attendance."
The fire service also confirmed nobody was trapped.
West Midlands Ambulance Service said the occupants of the two cars had been "discharged at the scene".
A spokesperson said: "We were called to reports of a two-vehicle RTC on St Georges Road, Donnington at 7.45pm. One ambulance and a paramedic officer attended the scene. On arrival we discovered two patients, both of whom were assessed and discharged at the scene."
