A car crashed and flipped onto its side yesterday trapping the female driver who is in her 80s.
The woman, believed to be called Elizabeth, smashed her car, in Homefield Close, off Forty Foot Road, in Leatherhead, yesterday, Sunday, September 22, at about 3.30pm.
People living in the road rushed to her aid, holding the car stable until firefighters could arrive to cut her out.
An Epsom firefighter who attended the incident said: "We believe she pressed the wrong pedal and the car flipped onto its side and was half way into a garden.
"When we turned up, members of the public were holding the door open.
"They were helping her with some risk to themselves because, if the car had rolled, that could have crushed them. It was very impressive.
"We stabilised the car and cut the roof so the lady could walk out."
