Pregnant woman cut from vehicle

A HEAVILY pregnant woman had to be cut from the car in which she was a passenger after the vehicle collided with a van in the main street of a town in Co Clare yesterday.

The minor collision occurred shortly after 1pm at Church Street in Ennistymon. It resulted in two women being hospitalised and the main street being closed for more than an hour.

The silver Rover car apparently crashed into the rear of a van at a junction, however, neither vehicle sustained any serious damage. There was only slight damage to the grill of the car while there was no visible damage to the van.
