A WOMAN had to be cut from her car after a crash in Sheering last night.

The smash, which happened at around 7.45pm in Church Lane, involved a silver Ford van and a blue Peugeot car.

Fire fighters took just over half an hour to free the woman, aged 20, from the wreckage using specialist cutting equipment.

She was taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow with minor head and face injuries.

Fire crews from Old Harlow, Harlow and Sawbridgworth all attended the scene.

No-one was arrested.
