The Fire and Rescue service said that they cut two injured people from the car using specialist rescue equipment and a further twelve people with minor injuries are being treated at a triage centre nearby.

“The emergency services have worked extremely well together to successfully rescue and treat casualties. Severe damage has also been caused to a building as a result of the collision,” said Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Station Commander, Jamie Johnson.
