A man and a woman had to be cut free by firefighters after a two-car crash at traffic lights in Dartford.

Two pumps were called to the scene at the junction of Princes Road and Shepherds Lane at around 5.30pm Saturday.

Fire crews spent about 45 minutes removing the roof of a Vauxhall estate car and getting two passengers on spinal boards.

It is unclear what injuries the two suffered but both were taken to Darent Valley Hospital in separate ambulances.

Shepherds Lane was closed in both directions while crews the incident was dealt with.
