Car crashed into WHSmith window and another left overturned

A two vehicle crash, which saw one car overturn and another go through the window of WHSmith, shut Allerton Road in both directions on Saturday (March 5).

Pictures from the scene show a car on its roof on the pavement between carriageways, while the other vehicle had smashed into a WHSmith's front window after a collision on the major south Liverpool road.

Officers from Merseyside Police were called to the scene at 10.32am and were joined by North West Ambulance Service and Merseyside Fire and Rescue.

Vehicles were placed behind a cordon as officers worked at the scene before the road was reopened in the afternoon.

North West Ambulance Service has been contacted for comment.
