Firefighters rescued a man following a road traffic collision in South Woodham Ferrers yesterday (Wednesday, 11 August).

A total of four crews - from South Woodham Ferrers, Chelmsford, Rayleigh Weir and Hawkwell - were called to Hullbridge Road at 2pm because the incident involved a bus.

The bus had been in a collision with a car parked next to a shop and pushed it partially into the building, trapping the car driver.

Firefighters used specialist cutting equipment to free the man who was left in the care of the Ambulance Service at 2.29pm.
