Ambulance, fire and an air ambulance were scrambled to the scene.
The first collision happened at the Castor roundabout and involved a VW Golf and a second vehicle.

It was the third and final crash, though - involving three cars between the Sutton turning and the Upton roundabout – that required an air ambulance to land.
The road was closed at 9.45am and re-opened at 3.08pm.
A Cambs Fire spokesman said: “One crew from Dogsthorpe and one crew from Stanground were called. Firefighters arrived to find a collision involving three vehicles.
