Good luck! A taxi driver was rushed to hospital after suffering a suspected heart attack behind the wheel outside a Motherwell primary school.
The incident, which took place outside Ladywell Primary School last Tuesday, saw the bus and taxi collide at just before noon on Tuesday, September 13.
The driver was cut out of the car by fire crews and taken to Wishaw General Hospital with injuries while his female passenger was left with bruising to her body.
A Scottish Fire and Rescue spokesman told the Wishaw Press: “Crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove the roof from the vehicle and free the injured motorist following the collision in Motherwell.
“Paramedics treated him inside the car while firefighters worked to create the space needed to lift him clear.
“After being safely released he was taken to Wishaw General Hospital by ambulance.
“While firefighters and paramedics worked to rescue the trapped motorist, ambulance personnel also tended to five other people at the scene.
“Of these five a woman and a second man were taken to hospital for precautionary check-ups.
“Firefighters made the scene safe before leaving the incident in the control of police officers around 12.30pm.”
