TWO casualties trapped in a car were rescued by firefighters following a collision on the M56 in Runcorn.

A car struck the central reservation shortly after 9.20am on Friday, June 26.

Watch Manager Stephen White said: "The car was against the central reservation in lane three.

“There were two casualties with non-life threatening injuries.

We removed the passenger door using specialist cutting gear so the casualties could leave the vehicle under paramedic supervision."

The collision happened between junction 12 and 14.
