A driver was rescued by firefighters after their car flipped onto its roof during a crash.
Police, paramedics and fire crews were called to the two car smash on Eastway in Maghull at 10.20 this morning (Wednesday). The road was closed after the incident which involved a Mercedes and a VW Polo that flipped onto its roof.
People were out walking their dogs and taking their children to the nearby Glenn Park when they walked past the scene. Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service said when crews arrived they found each car had one occupant who were conscious and breathing.

They were both confined to their vehicles for medical reasons while fire crews provided first aid and prepared the vehicles to safely remove them.
Fire crews used a longboard to free the driver of the VW Polo, who was found to be uninjured.
A fire service spokesperson said: "The occupant of the second vehicle remained in the vehicle until assessments were carried out on both people by North West Ambulance Service (NWAS). Fire crews then assisted NWAS in helping the remaining occupant onto a stretcher before both casualties were taken to hospital by NWAS for further checks.
"Crews left the scene after handing over to Merseyside Police at 11.13am."
Merseyside Police said one person was taken to hospital as a precaution. Photos showed a recovery van flipping the VW Polo back upright before taking both cars away from the scene.
The road reopened at around 12.20pm.
