A 13-YEAR-OLD girl had to be taken to hospital after she was cut free from her bicycle.

The fire service had to rescue the youngster after she became entangled following a fall in Lawson Road, Lowestoft, around 8.30pm on Saturday.

They were asked to attend by the East of England Ambulance Service, who took the girl to the James Paget Hospital in nearby Gorleston with head and leg injuries.

A spokeswoman said it was not known how seriously she was hurt.
