A POSTWOMAN has been cut free from her van after a head-on crash in Herefordshire.
Paramedics, police officers and fire crews all responded to the crash between a Royal Mail van and a white pick-up near Kington.
Kington fire station said the postie was cut free from the van, but there were no "nasty injuries".
The Kington firefighters were joined by a fellow Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service crew from Eardisley at the crash in Moor Court Lane in Lyonshall.
A spokesperson said they were called at 8.17am on Wednesday (May 18) to the crash between two vehicles, with one female casualty trapped inside a van.
"She was released by fire service personnel and there was one other walking-wounded casualty," they said.
"Both vehicles were made safe and the incident was left with police for the recovery of the vehicles."
The crew from Kington hit out at overgrown verges "making visibility even more difficult" on the "very narrow lane".
West Midlands Ambulance Service said one ambulance, a paramedic officer and the Midlands Air Ambulance from Cosford attended the scene.
The van driver, a woman, was assisted out of her vehicle by the fire service before being treated for injuries not believed to be serious.
She was then taken to Hereford County Hospital by land ambulance as a precaution.
The driver of the pick-up truck was uninjured in the incident.

Hope the lady in question is okay & the interrogation & discipline she will receive is not to severe.
