The emergency services were called to Ince Road in Ince Blundell at around 11am following reports of a three vehicle road traffic accident.



A spokesman for the ambulance service said they have taken five people to hospital. Two of the people were taken to Aintree hospital with suspected ‘serious injuries.’

The A565 was closed in both directions but has now re-opened.

Southport Road in both directions was closed, the traffic was diverted through Ince Woods due to three vehicles involved in a serious RTC between Ince Road / Long Lane and Lady Green Lane.”
