BY DAKOTA TAIT

Emergency services have freed a person after a van crashed on Buchanan Road at Buchanan on Monday morning.

Rescue crews were called to the scene just before 7:30am, finding three people were already out of the vehicle, while a person in the front passenger seat was still trapped by confinement. 

Hydraulic cutters were used to remove the door and the B-pillar, to allow a spine board to be inserted and remove the passenger. 

All four people were taken to hospital by ambulance for further treatment.
