A WOMAN was cut free from her car by firefighters and taken to Burnley General Hospital after a collision in Pendle Way.

It happened at 8.42am yesterday at the junction with the roundabout at Gannow Top.

Three cars, two Rovers and a VW Golf, were involved in the shunt and the driver of the middle car is believed to have suffered back injuries.

She was treated at the scene by paramedics and firefighters cut off the roof to lift her from the vehicle.
