A puppy had a "miraculous" escape after it had to be cut free from the wreckage of a crashed van.
The French Bulldog - called Memphis - was trapped in the footwell of the Vauxhall van in the aftermath of the collision involving a lorry and a car on the A500, near Barthomley, Cheshire.
Two fire crews used hydraulic cutting equipment to free the uninjured pup from the wreckage of the crash, which happened shortly before 08:00 BST.
No-one was injured in the crash.
