A WOMAN had part of her arm amputated after an horrific crash in Over Wyre.
The 25-year-old was the passenger in a van which crashed into a lamp post in Hambleton in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Police believe the driver of the van lost control, causing the Volkswagen Caddy to skid into the object on the A588 Broadpool Lane in
the villages.

Paramedics and police raced to the scene and gave emergency treatment to the woman before transferring her to Blackpool Victoria Hospital.

Doctors were forced to amputate the limb above the elbow.

Surgery

A spokesman for Lancashire Police said: "Two people were in a Volkswagen Caddy van when it appears the driver lost control and
collided with a lamp post.

"The female passenger in the front seat of the car sustained injuries
to her arm and was taken to Blackpool Victoria Hospital by ambulance.
"She underwent surgery when she arrived at the hospital during
which her left arm was amputated just above the elbow."

A 34-year old man from Poulton has been arrested on suspicion of driving with excess alcohol and dangerous driving.

He has since been released on police bail.

How exactly has he got away with it. He has been released on Bail. So they know who he is. Im sure the CPS will throw the book at him.

And rightly so

Best wishes to the woman.

Getting into a car with a drunk driver is asking for trouble.

(Not at all saying she deserved it, i feel really sorry for her and i hope he gets a lenghty prison sentence.. still wont bring her arm back thou)
