A road traffic accident involving a truck and a car on a Leicester road has resulted in a 31 year old woman being cut out of her vehicle and air lifted to the local hospital.
Fire fighters were called to the accident scene and they managed to free the woman from the vehicle in one hour. She was then taken to University Hospitals Coventry and Warwickshire with injuries to her legs.
Reports say that the accident, which happened on Monday morning, was a high speed collision involving the woman’s car and a truck. A spokesman from the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance said: “The injured woman was the driver of a car which collided with a pick-up truck at significant speed.”
Injuries Sustained In The Accident
The WNAA also said that the woman had sustained injuries to her legs which were trapped in her vehicle. The spokesperson continued: “A doctor from WNAA provided advance pain relief to help with her extraction from the vehicle.”
High Speed Road Traffic Accidents
Road traffic accidents can cause a number of different kinds of injury to drivers, passengers and pedestrians. A high speed collision can often mean that injuries are more severe due to the high impact.
Making A Car Accident Personal Injury Claim
If you have suffered a severe injury due to a car accident that was not your fault then you could be able to make a personal injury compensation claim. Whether your injuries are minor or major, if you have suffered unnecessarily because of someone else’s negligence then you are legally entitled to pursue a compensation case.
Car accident injuries can leave you unable to work and/or needing care or medical equipment. A compensation settlement fee will allow you to balance these financial expenditures you have made and/or will need to make in the future.
