Firefighters Rescue Mum and Child
Inside the house, a middle-aged mum and her young son were trapped as the car smashed into the hallway. Two fire crews from Basingstoke and Hartley Wintney rushed to the scene. They helped the terrified family escape and had to cut a 60-year-old man free from the wrecked car.
Driver Suffered “Medical Event”
