AN ELDERLY couple were trapped in their car after an accident on the A169, at Fylingdales.
The couple's blue Volvo 750, was the only vehicle involved in the incident, which occurred just before 11am yesterday.
They had been travelling to York railway station to pick up the woman's sister, and were trapped inside their overturned car when it came to rest in a ditch.
The woman, who had received minor injuries in the accident is believed to have released herself from the wreckage.
Her husband was eventually brought out by firefighters.
Emergency services from Malton, Pickering, Whitby and Kirkbymoorside attended the scene and the couple were taken to Scarborough District Hospital.
