"Driver of vehicle one was unable to leave the vehicle independently and was treated by North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) while firefighters made a plan to safely remove the casualty from the vehicle to enable Paramedics to provide further treatment.
"Firefighters then safely removed the roof of the vehicle and brought the casualty into the care of Paramedics, who carried out a full assessment before conveying the individual to hospital. Vehicle two was removed from the scene and the driver was with Merseyside Police.
"Our crews made the scene safe and left at 6.05pm"
