A MAN was airlifted to hospital on Sunday afternoon, after a car hit a fence and rolled onto its side in Ollerton.

The single-vehicle crash in Marthall Lane shortly before 3.30pm on April 9 left two people trapped in the Ford Fiesta.

The car was left with fence poles through the windshield and in the engine bay.

More than 10 emergency service vehicles attended, including the air ambulance which transported a male – reported to be in his 20s – to Aintree University Hospital with head injuries.

The other patient, a woman, was taken to hospital in Macclesfield by land ambulance.

Fire engines from Knutsford, Warrington and Wilmslow attended, helping to release the casualties.

A North West Ambulance Service spokesman said: “We received a call to attend reports of an RTC involving one vehicle.

“We sent a rapid response unit, two ambulances and the air ambulance to the scene, and took two people to hospital – one to Macclesfield by land ambulance and the other to Aintree University Hospital by air ambulance.”

Cheshire Police attended and closed the road between Pedley Lane and Chelford Road while the incident was dealt with, with reports of at least five police cars at the scene.
