TWO people were taken to hospital after they crashed into a tree when their car left the A14.

Firefighters cut a person free from the car after the incident on the eastbound carriageway between Spaldwick and Ellington at around 5pm yesterday (Sunday).

The other occupant was able to get out of the vehicle. A police spokesman said they both had slight injuries.

An East of England Ambulance spokesman said they escorted a man and a woman to Hinchingbrooke Hospital.
