Just 20 minutes later officers received a call about a crash involving a black and white Mini Cooper and a Skoda Octavia on Parkgate Road in nearby Puddington.

Police are appealing for witnesses and video footage following two serious collisions in Neston. Officers attended and found the Mini had overturned and a 42-year-old man was trapped inside.

Fire and ambulance crews attended the scene to remove the driver of the Mini and assess the drivers involved. Both sustained minor injuries. A man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, failing to stop and being unfit to drive.

He is currently being questioned in police custody. Enquiries in relation to the incidents are ongoing and officers are keen to hear from anyone who witnessed the incidents or anyone with any dashcam footage.

A spokesperson from Cheshire Police said: "Anyone with information in relation to this incidents is urged to report it to Cheshire Police via the website quoting IML-1533465 or call 101."
