A pregnant woman had to be rescued from her car yesterday when a tree fell onto the road in Hockliffe.
Two fire engines from Leighton Buzzard arrived at the scene on Leighton Road at 3.08pm to find a woman in her 20s trapped in her vehicle after it was involved in a collision with another car.
The fire crews immediately set to work at getting the pregnant woman out of danger and said that cutting her out of the car was a “safety measure”.
East of England Ambulance Service said they treated the woman, who had non-life threatening injuries, at the scene but she was taken to Luton and Dunstable Hospital as a precaution.
The road was closed from The White Hart Harvester until 5.15pm.
