- Severn Road, Hallen
Two drivers had to be cut free from their vehicles following a
head-on collision.
Two pumps and the rescue tender from Avonmouth Fire Station
attended the scene, where they found the male drivers of a VW and
Ford car trapped in their badly damaged vehicles. The force of the
collision had caused the engine from one of the cars to be thrown
several metres clear of the crash scene.
Working simultaneously on the two cars, crews used hydraulic
cutting equipment to remove the doors and roofs so the men could be
freed. Both were treated by paramedics at the scene before being
taken to hospital by ambulance suffering from various injuries to
their legs
