Woman cut free after crash in Wolverhampton

The passenger, who was in her 50s, was rescued from a Ford Fiesta by fire crews who removed its roof.

It happened on Wolverhampton Road East, Parkfields at about 12.30pm. She was suffering back pain.

Firefighters said a Honda and Audi A1 were among the other vehicles involved.

The road was closed for about an hour while the scene was cleared.

Crew commander Steve Cartwright, of Bilston Fire Station, said: "The woman was complaining of being in pain so we helped her out.

"None of the cars were badly damaged - it was mainly bumps."

Meanwhile, Bilston firefighters took to Twitter to post this image of another accident, in Owen Road, Tipton.

They said it had been caused by a mechanical defect on the Land Rover, and that one woman had been taken to hospital for a precautionary check.
