A WOMAN was trapped after an accident which left her vehicle resting on its roof on Huddersfield ring road.

Police, paramedics and firefighters raced to the crash next to Benson’s Beds on Saturday.

The woman is believed to have turned right from Trinity Street onto Castlegate in her grey Navarra Sport just before the accident.

Police closed part of the ring road while firefighters freed the driver, who is in her 30s.

Huddersfield Fire Station crew commander Scott Elvidge said: “We had to release the seat belt, cut her out and get her out on a stretcher. She seemed reasonably calm throughout the extrication.”

It caused long tailbacks in the area.

The woman was not injured in the incident, which happened at 9.50am on Saturday.

Part of the Castlegate section of the ring road was closed for more than an hour after the accident while the vehicle was loaded on to a tow-truck and taken away.
