ARCHIVED - Female motorist trapped in overturned car after crash in Alcoy
The accident happened on the CV-795 towards Banyeres in Alicante province.
Firefighters rescued a female motorist trapped inside her Mercedes after the vehicle flipped over and landed on its roof following an accident on the CV-795 in Alcoy this morning, Tuesday, July 27.
It's not yet clear exactly what caused the crash, but the car flipped over and landed on a steep verge on the roadside at around 8.30am, at kilometre 1.5 heading towards the neighbouring town, Banyeres.
The woman was conscious and incredibly unhurt, but unable to get out of the crushed vehicle alone, before three firefighters, equipped with two fire engines and a transport vehicle, were able to free her.
The driver was taken to a nearby hospital to be checked over, and the road was temporarily closed while the "spillage of several slippery substances" was cleaned up.
