A WOMAN was taken to hospital after her car went through a fence on the motorway near Ledbury and ended up in a shallow stream.

Emergency services were called to the M50, between junctions two and three, at around 5pm on Tuesday.

They found a car on its side and a single occupant, a woman in her 20s, was freed from the vehicle with help from the fire service.

She suffered shoulder and chest injuries and a left knee injury. She was given pain relief at the scene and taken to Hereford County Hospital.
