Three people taken to hospital after Essex crash

Two police officers and a man in his 40s have been taken to hospital after a collision involving an unmarked police car in Essex.

A male driver and a female passenger were in the unmarked silver police Ford Fiesta when it collided with a blue Peugeot 106 at Waltham Road, Boreham, near Chelmsford.

The driver of the unmarked police car was taken to Chelmsford's Broomfield Hospital with suspected whiplash injuries and the female passenger was treated for a finger injury.

The Peugeot driver had to be cut free from his car by fire crews attending the scene before he was taken to the Royal London Hospital via air ambulance.

An Essex Police spokeswoman said he was suspected to have suffered leg injuries in the crash but was later found to be unhurt and was released from hospital.

Two Italian policemen were recently taken to hospital suffering from whiplash injuries, cuts and bruises after being rear-ended by reality TV star Snooki in Florence.
