Three local fire crews were called out after a traffic collision between an HGV lorry and tractor.

Fire crews from Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet and Wells were called out to reports that a lorry driver was trapped following the crash at Stratton on the Fosse.

They received the call at just after 4pm yesterday (July 26).

Crews administered first aid until the ambulance arrived and then released the casualty using an HGV platform,

small tools and ratchet straps.

The casualty was conveyed to hospital and crews made both vehicles safe.

The incident was declared closed at 9pm.
