TWO people were taken to hospital following a crash in Barrow this morning.

Firefighters used specialist equipment to cut free a driver and passenger from a Ford Focus car after it ended up on its side following an accident in Clitheroe Road, Barrow, at just before 8.30am.

Both people suffered minor injuries and were taken to the Royal Blackburn Hospital on land ambulance.

The road was closed for almost two hours as the emergency services cleared away the debris from the crash.
