A DRIVER suffered "very serious" leg injuries after an accident which left him trapped in his car for 40 minutes.

The collision, between a Renault Clio and a Vauxhall Omega, blocked the road between Tiers Cross and the Total refinery at 9.45am on Monday. The driver of one of the cars had to be stabilised by ambulance staff before being released by firefighters using hydraulic cutting equipment. He was taken to Withybush Hospital with two other casualties who were suffering seatbelt injuries. None of the injuries were thought to be life-threatening. The road was closed for about an hour-and-a-half.
