Two of the men and the woman were able to get out of their cars without additional support, one man was rescued by the firefighters.

They used specialist equipment to break the man out of his car.

One day earlier the Bucks fire service was called out to deal with a burning log basket.

At a home in Portway Road, Stone, a basket was left too close to a log burner and was set alight.

By the time two fire engines arrived on the scene, the flames had already gone out.

Firefighters used ventilation devices to clear the smoke.

A Bucks Fire and Rescue spokesman said: "If you have an open fire, log burner or kitchen range, be careful of what you place next to them – heat transfer or jumping sparks can lead to smouldering and cause a fire.
