Firefighters released a lorry driver who was injured when his vehicle was involved in a collision with a bus just outside Marlow this morning.

Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service was called to the incident near the iron bridge at Medmenham Hill, Henley Road, at 7.46am. Three crews from High Wycombe attended, along with an Operational Support Unit from Aylesbury and Station Manager John Bull.

Firefighters used hydraulic cutting and spreading gear to create room to release the driver from the lorry as his door was wedged shut after the collision.

A crew from Beaconsfield Fire Station was on standby at High Wycombe Fire Station while High Wycombe's crews were at the scene.
