Two women were taken to hospital with serious injuries after a head on car crash in Balmoral Road yesterday.

St Albans Road was closed at the junction with Balmoral Road for two hours after the two-car smash at 4.40pm.

The drivers of a black vauxhall corsa and a blue vauxhall corsa were trapped in their cars.

Two crews of firefighters from Garston and Watford used equipment to free the injured women.

Ambulances took them to Watford General Hospital for further treatment.

Police reopened the road at around 6.30pm after the cars had been recovered.
