A man was taken to hospital after a crash near Woodchurch this morning.

Emergency services were called to a two-car crash on the M53 southbound carriageway between junctions one and two just before 8am today.

Both drivers managed to get out of the cars unaided and were checked by paramedics.

Fire crews made the scene safe and removed one vehicle.

Two lanes of the M53 were closed heading towards Clatterbridge, causing delays while the Highways Agency removed debris from the road.

All lanes have since re-opened.
