Road traffic collision

Fire control received multiple calls to a road traffic collision in Crapstone. 1 fire engine from Yelverton and 2 fire engines from Crownhill ( Plymouth ) attended the incident alongside an officer. 

On arrival crews confirmed that a tree, roughly 15m long, had fallen onto the roof of the vehicle trapping the driver and pulling down a live cable in the process. Crews cordoned off the cable awaiting the arrival of Western power. Crews got to work with Hydraulic and battery operated equipment and small tools to remove the tree releasing the driver into the care of the ambulance service.
