A HORROR smash closed a road last night while two people were taken to hospital.

Two cars are thought to have crashed outside Englefield House in Englefield at around 10.30pm last night. The fire brigade, ambulance service and police were all called out and the A340 Tidmarsh Road was closed while they tried to help the victims.

Leading firefighter Marlin Browne, from Dee Road station, said: "There was a collision - two cars and two persons injured, they were taken to hospital. I don't know whether they were male or female or if there was anyone else in the cars.

"The cars were so badly damaged I could not tell what make they were.

"We were just making the scene safe, which involves things like making sure airbags don't go off and sorting out lighting.

"The road would have been closed for quite a considerable time."
