SINGAPORE - A woman driver was trapped in the wreck of her car
for about an hour, as Singapore Civil Defence Officers worked to
free her following an accident this morning.
The SCDF received a call about the accident involving a car
along Woodlands Ave 12 at about 9.07am.
Upon arrival, the crew found a woman, in her 20s, trapped in the
driver's seat. The front right door was severely impacted inwards,
and the dashboard had caved in, pinning her from the waist
down.
SCDF rescuers used hydraulic rescue equipment to lift the dashboard
and separate the driver's seat from the door before extracting
her.
A paramedic stabilised the woman while rescue operations were
ongoing. She was sent to Khoo Teck Puat Hospital with a suspected
head injury and fracture to her left leg and right hip.
