Avon Fire & Rescue Service had to free two casualties from
their cars following a five vehicle collision on the M4.
When crews from Bath, Speedwell and Yate arrived at the scene, they
found two LGVs and three cars had been involved. The female driver
of one car, and the male driver of another, were both trapped. The
man was brought out of his car through the side, while the woman
was brought out on a spinal board after the roof of her car was
removed. Both were taken to hospital by ambulance, and their
injuries are believed to be life threatening.
The road was closed for some time during and after the
collision.
