A DRIVER escaped with cuts and bruises after her car collided with a van and a CCTV camera in Earby.

The woman had to be cut out of her blue Vauxhall Corsa after colliding with a Ford Transit van and the post of a CCTV camera at the junction of Colne Road and Salterforth Road, opposite the Station Hotel pub, just before 9pm on Thursday.

The road was blocked for around an hour before the wreckage was removed.

Sergeant Gareth Hill, from the Road Policing Unit, said: "The Corsa had been hit in the driver's side, spun round and hit the camera.

"The driver was trapped and had to be cut out by firefighters, and was taken to Burnley General Hospital but was discharged with cuts and bruises.

"Both of the people involved live locally."
