A woman has been left seriously injured after a crash with a coach on a Cambridgeshire road on Monday (November 11). A Honda Civic, a Ford Kuga, and a coach were involved in a crash on the A1307, close to Herbie’s American Diner, near Swavesey, at about 9.50am.

A woman in her 60s, who had been driving the Honda, was seriously injured in the crash. She was taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital, in Cambridge, where she remains.

The Kuga driver was taken to hospital with minor injuries. The bus driver was uninjured.

Firefighters from Cambridge, Cottenham, and the south roaming fire engine were called to the scene. They cut one casualty out of their vehicle using specialist equipment before leaving them in the care of ambulance crews.

A Cambridgeshire Police spokesperson said: "Anyone who saw what happened or has dashcam footage of the build-up to the collision should report it through the force website using reference CC-11112024-0104. Anyone without internet access should call 101."
