A caravanning holidaymaker had to be cut from the wreckage of her tow car last weekend after a planned weekend of camping was brought to a swift end when her vehicle jack-knifed.
Police and emergency services rushed to the scene of the accident, which occurred at the A66/A685 junction near Cooper House Farm at around 2.40pm on Saturday (August 25th).
Two fire crews were required to deal with the crash, which occurred when the car towing the tourer jack-knifed, sending the vehicle careering into the left-hand reservation.
According to the Westmorland Gazette, cutting equipment was employed to get a 50-year-old female out of the wreckage.
She sustained only minor back injuries, while two other passengers were able to get out of the car unaided.
The incident is the latest to involve a rogue caravan, with reports emerging last week of one tourer which ended up careering down a hill without a tow car following a collision in Melton.
