Cheshire Police confirmed that there were no injuries and nobody at the scene required hospital treatment.

In a statement, Cheshire Constabulary said: "Officers were called just before 7.45am today (Tuesday, January 4) to Stanney Lane following reports of a collision involving a black Citroen C1 Code and a blue Ford Fiesta.

"There were no reports of any injuries.

"The road was partially blocked before recovery took place."

Witnesses reported 'slow' traffic in the local area caused by the road accident.

One witness who was reportedly present at the scene said on social media: "Accident on Stanney Lane this morning by Whitby park. All emergency services are present. The busses to Chester and Liverpool could be affected. Those involved appear to be ok."

Just after 9am, Stagecoach Merseyside & South Lancashire tweeted: "Please be aware the earlier RTA effecting Ellesmere Port bus station has now cleared, normal service can now commence."
