A WOMAN was crushed between two vehicles in Earlston on Saturday evening.

It is believed the injured woman was accessing her car book when another vehicle struck her.

Firefighters said they worked to free the 66-year-old and she was taken to hospital.

Crews were alerted to the incident in Melrose Road just after 6.50pm.

It is believed that the woman was trying to get an item out of the boot of her car when another car ran into her.

A spokeswoman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "She got trapped between the two cars.

"Firefighters had to use hydraulic cutting equipment and small tools and airbags to help her get out."

She was taken by medics to Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, suffering from leg injuries.
