Firefighters rescued an elderly woman from her car after she crashed at the Everlasting Bend yesterday.

Crews from Laxey and Douglas were called to Laxey just after 4pm - where they found the car on its side, wedged between a tree and hedge.

The car was stabilised and the woman was stretchered up the steep bank with help from a ladder which improvised as a bridge.

She was then taken to hospital.
