FIREFIGHTERS had to cut two people free from their vehicles after a two-car crash near Sixways Stadium in Worcester.

Crews from Worcester and Droitwch were called to the scene near junction six of the M5 at the A4538 Pershore Lane bridge at about 2.25pm.

Both people, who are thought to have both been driving Jaguars, are believed to have been airlifted to hospital, where their condition is unknown.

The road is closed in both directions, causing congestion at the Sixways roundabout.

A street light was also severely damaged in the crash.
