A major Liverpool road was closed due to a dramatic crash on Sunday night.
Emergency services were called to Smithdown Road following a two vehicle smash near the Asda superstore.
Two people were injured in the collision.
Merseyside Police sent patrols to the junction of Smithdown Road and Cranborne Road following reports of an incident involving an Audi and a Ford Mondeo private hire vehicle at 9.20pm.
Photographs from the scene show damage to both vehicles and debris scattered across the road.
The driver and a passenger in the private hire vehicle suffered cuts, with the driver also left with bruising and a leg injury, police said.
