Two people were taken to hospital following a three-vehicle collision on Skipton Road in Harrogate last night.
Harrogate firefighters were alerted at 7.02pm to the incident, which was also attended by police.
North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service's incident log says:
"Crews liaised with police on scene and administered initial first aid to occupants whilst awaiting the arrival of ambulance crews.
"Crews stabilised one vehicle to enable the occupant to be assisted out. Occupants of two vehicles transported to hospital via road ambulance. Crews left the incident in the hands of the police to await recovery of the vehicles."

At 5.49pm they were called to Menwith Hill Road to reports of a vehicle fire. The incident log says:
`'Crews extinguished the fire and dampened the vehicle down before isolating the battery and making the vehicle safe. Crews cordoned off the area and left the incident with the police to await recovery."
