A man has been taken to hospital following a crash in Crawley this afternoon.

Two cars collided during the smash at about 1.30pm at the junction of Ifield Avenue and Warren Drive.

A Crawley firefighter who attended the collision said: “One of the men involved was complaining of back and side pain and was medically trapped so we arrived to cut him out of a red Toyota.

“He was taken to hospital, we are not sure which one, but he did not appear too badly hurt.

"We are not sure how the crash happened. One car appeared just to go into another car.”

The road is now clear.
