Two fire crews from Sleaford as well as another from Grantham attended the scene of the collision on Sleaford Road, Ancaster.

A fire service spokesman said firefighters used specialist cutting gear to release the casualty from the vehicle and administered oxygen. They then made all vehicles involved safe and used absorbent granules to soak up a fuel leak. The road was closed at the Ancaster cross-road and the village of Wilsford while emergency services worked.

The police spokesman added: "Our investigation into the circumstances is ongoing and we would ask for anyone with information or dashcam footage which might help our enquiries to get in touch calling 101, quoting incident 183 of November 12."
