Paramedics arrived at the scene and found the intersection littered with accident debris and the twisted frames of the vehicles.

After the injured were  examined it was found that two people sustained serious injuries while six escaped with minor injuries, some of the injured were still trapped in the twisted metal.

While firefighters used the Jaws of Life to free the injured, medics clambered into the vehicle to stabilise the seriously injured passenger.
