Watch manager Craig Sadler, of Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service, said: ‘We were called to a road traffic collision involving an HGV and a car at 6.24am.

‘We assisted in removing one female casualty from the vehicle,’ he said. ‘She was then taken to Queen Alexandra Hospital, in Cosham. She was suffering from shock.’

Watch manager Sadler added the crash was similar to one which made national headlines yesterday when pop star Ellie Goulding came to the aid of a man whose car was ‘T-boned’ by a Royal Mail lorry.

Speaking of the Portsmouth crash, he added: ‘The HGV collided with the woman’s car and moved it up the road. The car was stuck in the front of the truck. It was similar to the one involving Ellie Goulding yesterday.’

One lane was blocked during the crash in Portsmouth. It caused minor delays to commuter traffic.
