TWO pensioners have been hurt and one taken to hospital with serious injuries after a three car crash on the A120 this afternoon.
The collision between a silver Peugeot, a blue Mazda and a green pick-up truck happened at around 4pm on Kings Lane near the junction with Coggeshall Road.
The accident near the Marks Farm roundabout left the woman in her 80s with injuries to her chest, including broken ribs, and man travelling in the same car, also in his 80, needing treatment at the scene of the smash.
An Anglian Air Ambulance landed on the southbound carriageway to assist with treating those injured.
The female casualty was treated by paramedics at the scene before being taken by land ambulance to Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford.
The road remained partially blocked until around 5.30pm when it was reopened, but traffic continues to be slow around the area.
