A pensioner was rescued after a car crash near Ripponden on Saturday.

As these photos by Phil Taylor show, police, paramedics and firefighters were deployed to help the 70-year-old woman.

Police said they were called to Rochdale Road, near Baitings Reservoir, at noon following reports a car had crashed into a wall before coming to a stop in a field.

They said the pensioner was not thought to have suffered serious injuries.

The road was shut until 3.10pm while emergency services dealt with the accident.
