Three cars written off after Switch Island multi car crash

Three cars were written off and multiple people hurt following a crash at Switch Island.

Merseyside Police rushed to the M58 at Switch Island at around 2pm on Monday, September 12, following reports of a multiple car crash. Once at the scene officers found three vehicles, a BMW Z4, Audi Q5 and a Vauxhall Mokka, had crashed into each other and were blocking multiple lanes of traffic.

Officers from the North West Motorway Policing group closed three lanes of traffic on the M57 towards Broom's Cross Road, three lanes of Dunningsbridge Road eastbound towards Maghull and the M58. Traffic was queuing back and causing traffic chaos at the busy junction.
