A vehicle sped into a ditch and another burst into flames after they crashed on a country road near Braintree last night.
Following the collision on Witham Road in Cressing, at about 10.51pm, three casualties were placed on spinal boards by paramedics before being taken to Broomfield Hospital.
Three ambulances and a response car attended, while firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used two
hose reel jets to extinguish the blaze.
