Police, fire crews and paramedics rushed to a three-vehicle accident on the outskirts of Burnham-On-Sea on Wednesday (January 24th).
The accident occurred during the busy evening rush hour at 5.15pm on the A38 near East Brent.
There were initially concerns that the occupants of the vehicles could be trapped – although this proved unfounded.
“Fortunately, no persons were trapped but fire fighters did release a dog from one of the vehicles,” said a fire brigade spokesman.
Fire crews from Burnham-On-Sea and Weston attended the incident, which led to long delays for commuters.
