They were both freed from the car on extraction boards to safeguard against cervical spine injuries. They have been taken to Huddersfield Royal Infirmary.

Nobody in the minibus suffered any serious injury.

Two crews from Halifax attended the incident and left around 6.30am.

Early morning buses had to be diverted because the road was closed for several hours, but traffic has now returned to normal.
