A DRIVER and her passenger have been taken to hospital following a collision involving a car and a tractor in the Duggleby area.

The incident happened just before 9am this morning, near Northstead in the village.

A blue Ford Fiesta reportedly collided with the tractor at a junction. Two women were inside the car.

Ambulance crews and several police vehicles attended, and fire crews were also at the scene.

A police spokesperson said that someone has been taken to hospital as a precautionary measure, with fire services adding later that both women had gone for a check-up.

Initial reports of a lorry being involved as opposed to a tractor were erroneous.
