Two elderly people were rescued from a car on Monday December 17th after it went off a major road and careered into trees.
The man and woman in their 80s were lucky to walk away without any serious injuries after their vehicle left the A370 Bridgwater Road and fell down a 15m embankment.
Crews from local fire stations were called at 1.21pm to the scene, near Weston Hospital, where a car was found on a grass verge among the trees.
Firefighters used ladders and rope equipment to rescue the casualties and are now working to retrieve the car.
A Police spokesman said: “There are no serious injuries but the vehicle is among a tree on a grass verge and will need to be recovered. The road was closed while the vehicle was recovered.”
