Woman with whiplash cut from vehicle
A woman involved in a dramatic
collision with a building in Hampshire had to be cut free from her vehicle after she collided with the building on Andover Street.
The woman has not yet been named but is known to be in her twenties. An explanation as to how the accident came about has not yet been discovered.
She was driving with a male passenger in his forties who was unharmed. When the woman was taken to hospital she was diagnosed with whiplash. She appears to have no major injuries other than that.
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries after a car accident, usually associated with low impact rear end shunts. This is rather an unusual case as the women hit the building head on.
Despite the details of the accident not being clear it has been established that the female driver was responsible for the crash. She is required to report to Andover police station on the 1st August in order to explain her actions and possibly face charges of dangerous driving.
To cut her free from the vehicle took a total of 14 firefighters and a specialist equipment unit had to be called over from nearby Winchester.
