A woman who was seriously injured in a freak accident with a runaway people carrier has been moved out of intensive care.

The 61-year-old woman was rescued by members of the public from the wheels of a Ford Galaxy, after it rolled into a group of people in Bank Street, Braintree, two weeks ago.

She was taken to Colchester General Hospital in a critical condition and was moved to a high dependency unit earlier this week.

Inspector Mark Harman, of Bocking traffic unit, said: "She is still is hospital and still very ill. But she is out of intensive care."

Anyone with information on the accident was asked to contact Bocking traffic on 01376 330312.
