M13 Accident: Vehicle Crashes Down Embankment after Losing Control

Paramedics and emergency services responded to an M13 accident after a car lost control, hitting a tree and rolling down the embankment.
Volunteer emergency services, Rescue Tech, arrived on the scene a short while later. The circumstances leading up to the accident are still being investigated, but eye witness reports claim to have seen the vehicle losing control.
Working as a team, the rescuers put down two lines to the vehicle. As a safety precaution, T-Towing secured a safety line to the wreckage of the vehicle to stop it from moving and allow the rescuers to safely recover the patient.
The occupants were fortunate to have only sustained minor injuries. They were stabilised on scene and transported to the hospital for the further care they would require.
