Fire crews in Essex have cut a driver out of a vehicle after it collided with a stationary Highways roadwork protection vehicle on the M11 near Stansted Airport.

This involved multiple agency’s coming together, HEMS flying doctors, Paramedics, Police and [National] Highways Traffic Officers also attended this serious collision.

The M11 was closed whilst rescue operation was in progress and the casualty was transferred to a nearby A&E Hospital.
