Firefighters had to peel apart a car to get at a driver critically injured in a crash west of Vancouver Mall Monday afternoon.

The Vancouver Fire Department said crews were called to a crash at Northeast 66th Avenue and Northeast Vancouver Mall Drive around 1:45 p.m.

Two cars had collided in a T-bone crash, the department said, and one of the drivers was pinned inside.

Firefighters removed both driver-side doors to extricate that driver from the vehicle. An ambulance took the driver to a hospital.
