Shortly before 3.15pm on Tuesday 19 September, police were called regarding reports of a two-vehicle collision at the junction of Fishpool Road and Abbey Lane along the A54 Middlewich Road.

The incident involved a blue MG TF and a flat bed truck - a Mitsubishi Fuso Canter - which was loaded with a Ford Fiesta.
