The patient has sustained serious head and multiple fractures. Her condition is life threatening. The other driver sustained minor injuries.
Deborah Florence, spokesperson for Magpas said: "Thanks to the very sophisticated training Magpas volunteer Doctors and paramedics receive, our Emergency Medical Team were able to deliver an advanced level of pre hospital medical care at the scene, it is through our close working partnership with the East of England Ambulance Trust that we are able to deliver such a rapid and coordinated response to anywhere in the East of England. The emergency services all worked together really well at the scene"
