FIRE crews were called to Ilkley Railway Station after a car reversed through railings and partly onto one of the platforms.

Fire crews were called to the car park at Station Plaza, Station Road, just after 11am to reports of a person trapped in a car that had crashed into railings.

The rear of the car had been left partly on the platform.

It is thought it had been parked in the Marks & Spencer car park when the driver accidentally reversed it through the railings.

Eyewitnesses said the driver was an elderly lady and the car also contained a younger lady and a baby. Their injuries are thought to be minor. 

Crews from Ilkley and Rawdon attended.
