A car was flipped onto its roof following a single-vehicle collision on Broseley Lane, Culcheth, in the early hours of Sunday. It is the sort of unsettling sight nobody wants on a local road, particularly before most of the village has even made it to the kettle.
Two fire engines attended after reports of the overturned vehicle. Thankfully, firefighters found that nobody was trapped inside, which is the crucial positive news here.
A Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service trauma technician assessed the two people involved, the driver and passenger. Both were handed over to paramedics and taken to hospital for precautionary checks. There is no further information on their condition.
Firefighters made the vehicle safe and remained at the scene for around 50 minutes. The incident is a serious reminder that even familiar roads such as Broseley Lane can become dangerous very quickly, although the available information does not suggest what caused the crash.
