A WOMAN was injured when her car ploughed into a tree.
The accident happened at 2pm yesterday at Lower Edge Road in Elland.
The woman was heading to her home nearby when she lost control of her vehicle, which flipped over on to its side and smashed into a tree.
The force of the impact caused the roof of the Hyundai Sorento to smash inwards on to her.
Fire crews from Brighouse, Elland and Halifax attended the scene as well as police and paramedics.
Firefighters worked to cut off the roof to free the driver.
The woman was taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary for treatment, but her injuries are not thought to be life-threatening.
No-one else was involved in the accident, and the road remained open.
