News / Two drivers in hospital after crash
TWO drivers were rushed to hospital after their cars collided at a junction in Shetland’s south mainland early on Thursday morning.
Fire crews from Sumburgh, Sandwick and Lerwick were sent to the scene near the north junction to Toab, where one car had left the road and was lying in a field.
Fire crews had to cut off a front and back door to remove a woman from one of the cars before she could be taken onto a waiting ambulance. A man in the second car was also taken to Lerwick’s Gilbert Bain Hospital.
The condition of the pair was said to be “satisfactory”.
