A NORTHWICH man needed treatment at the Countess of Chester Hospital following a road traffic accident in Norley Road, Cuddington, on Saturday evening.

The man is believed to have been driving a BMW estate when it was involved in a collision with a silver coloured Chevrolet Matiz and hit the side wall of a hairdresser’s shop.

Firefighters from Northwich administered first aid until paramedics arrived and took over. The man is believed to have been suffering from back and neck injuries, but they were not serious.
