A spokesman for West Yorkshire Fire & Rescue Service based at Rawdon station said: "Two engines attended, one from Rawdon and one Cookrdige.

"On our arrival ambulance and police were already in attendance, four ambulances and I think six police cars.

"The BMW was smashed up, believed to be coming down from the Aldi from Yeadon town centre, towards Dibb Lane.

"When we arrived paramedics were working on a lady, age unknown, and the driver was in the ambulance getting checked over.

"Our crews had to cut a little bit of the metal away so the ambulance crews had more access

"Crews assisted the ambulance crews getting her onto a stretcher where she was taken then to the LGI"

She was conscious and breathing at the time but potentially could have multiple fractures.”

"We attended the scene and took two patients to Leeds General Infirmary.
