A woman driving a black BMW car and her passenger were taken to Royal Stoke University Hospital after being cut free from her car, which collided with a milk tanker on the A515 in Draycott in the Clay.

"Crews arrived to find a milk tanker and a car that had been in a collision. The milk tanker was on its side and the car had come to rest off the road down a grass slope.

"The driver of the milk tanker, a man believed to be in his late 40's, received treatment at the scene from medics for a head injury and lacerations. Following treatment the man was airlifted to Royal Stoke University Hospital for further emergency treatment.

"Two people were travelling in the car at the time of the crash. A man in his 50's suffer minor injuries and received treatment at the scene.
