Four fire engines thundered to the scene after a single vehicle crashed badly. Firefighters scrambled up ladders and used aerial platforms to free five trapped victims from the mangled wreck.
Two seriously hurt passengers were rushed to hospital by South East Coast Ambulance paramedics for emergency treatment.
