The alarm was raised at just before 3.45pm after the Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service were notified by the Ambulance Service.

Two fire engines and a rescue tender from Yeovil attended the scene and found one person trapped inside a car.

They used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove the roof of the car, while a second casualty was released from the other vehicle by ambulance personnel prior to the arrival of the FIre Service.

Both casualties were taken to hospital.
