A WOMAN had to be cut free from a car last night (Monday) after a crash which forced a road to close.

Firefighters used cutting equipment to free a woman who became trapped after two Ford Fiestas collided in Graveley Road, Stevenage, at about 5.30pm.

The woman, along with a driver of one of the cars, was taken to Lister Hospital with minor injuries.

Graveley Road was shut following the crash at the junction with North Road, but fully reopened at 7.25pm.
