Emergency response
The alarm was raised at around 8.15pm on Tuesday, 23 September, when a private vehicle left the B4304 and came to rest close to a water channel.
Crews from Carmarthen and Llanelli fire stations cut back sections of woodland to create an access route, before using a rescue sled to extricate the casualties. A specialist rescue team and wading team were also deployed.
Both casualties were handed into the care of the Welsh Ambulance Service and taken to hospital with what were described as minor injuries.
