A woman was trapped behind a camper van this afternoon after she fell in a hedge at St Mawes.

The woman was walking along the car park at St Mawes Castle when she fell in the hedge, at the same time as a man was reversing his camper van.

The van did not touch the woman, but she became trapped. Fire crews from St Mawes, Truro and Camborne were called to the scene just after 3.30pm and fire fighters worked to release the woman.

The air ambulance was also scrambled, but was turned back when it became clear that the woman was not injured.
