Peter Abbs led fire crews at the scene of the accident and spent 80 minutes cutting a total of five causalities out of the cars involved in the collision.

He said, "It was a nasty one. That's a particularly busy stretch of road, but we had a good team, unfortunately the Dereham crews who are used to dealing with these sort of accidents."

In the future, the casualties of the collision may want to make a whiplash compensation claim for their injuries sustained in the road accident.
