Officers from the roads policing unit are appealing for witnesses to a collision in Ellesmere Port in which three people were hurt.

The collision occurred at 12.12pm on Thursday, August 16 between a black Vauxhall Zafira and a black Toyota Prius at the roundabout on Stanney Woods Avenue near the entrance to the Marks and Spencer car park at Cheshire Oaks.

Three people were taken to Aintree Hospital, one with minor injuries and two with serious injuries.

The roundabout and Lloyd Drive, near to the entrance of Marks & Spencer’s car park, was shut by police for most of the afternoon as emergency services attended the scene.
