Jaws of Life needed after North Battleford crash

Emergency crews needed the Jaws of Life to rescue a driver Monday after a two-vehicle crash in North Battleford.

RCMP responded to the collision, at the intersection of Highway 16 and Battleford Road, at about noon.

A lone occupant in one the vehicles was trapped until emergency crews brought out the Jaws of Life, Mounties said in a media release. She was one of five people who suffered minor injuries and was charged with driving with due care or attention.

She was travelling southbound on Battleford Road and entered the Highway 16 intersection prior to the crash, according to police.

All five people were expected to be released from hospital by late Monday afternoon.
