A 71-year-old woman was cut from her car by firefighters after an accident near Penrith.
The accident happened near Glassonby, on a route known locally as Robberby Road at 10.15am.
It involved a Land Rover, driven by a 35-year-old local man, and a Honda Jazz, driven by the pensioner from Penrith.
Two fire crews from Lazonby and Penrith used hydraulic cutting equipment to release the woman.
