Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service and Northamptonshire Police were called to a crash on the A45 eastbound this morning (May 15).
The two-car collision happened between junctions 14 and 16 of the A45 shortly before 6.30am, where a person was trapped in a vehicle and had to be rescued by fire services.
A Northants Fire and Rescue spokesman said: “Fire engines from Wellingborough, Raunds and Moulton attended and found that two vehicles had been involved in a collision close to Little Irchester.
“One person was still trapped in one of the vehicles, and the fire service used cutting equipment to remove the doors so that they could be walked out of the vehicle and treated by paramedics.”
Fire crews stayed to ensure the scene was safe before returning to their stations at 7.30am, and police confirm the road was cleared at 8.55am.
The crash caused significant delays between Wellingborough and Rushden Lakes.
