Firefighters returning from a crash on the M4 were sent to rescue two women trapped in cars after a crash in Theale.
Crews from Dee Road, Whitley Wood and Caversham Road were called to the A340 at 11.30 this morning after a silver Peugeot and Honda crashed.
Watchmanager Mark Jones said two middle aged women were trapped in the cars.
"We used cutting tools to release them," he said. "The road was closed so fire and ambulance staff could work in safety.
"There were no significant injuries but they were shocked."
The crews spent an hour at the scene working to free the women.
