A PENSIONER needed medical care this morning (September 25) after his sister ran over him.

Fire crews from Dunmow and Stansted were called to North Road in Takeley after a 78-year-old man was trapped under a Fiat.

The man and his sister were leaving to go to the shops when she accidently drove over him. Firefighters used airbags to lift the vehicle to release him before he was left in the care of the Ambulance Service.
