TWO car passengers had to be cut free from their vehicle after colliding with a tree in Wimborne on Tuesday evening.

Ambulance crews requested the assistance of the fire service following the collision in Julian’s Road, Wimborne around 10pm.

Two crews, one retained from Wimborne and another from Poole attended the single vehicle collision and used hydraulic cutting equipment to remove the roof to minimise the risk of injury to the two people inside.

Both were taken to hospital by ambulance.
