A trapped car driver was whisked to safety by fire fighters after a smash involving a BMW and lorry this morning.
Smoke could be seen coming from the front of the BMW after the crash which happened around 9.30am in Stockbridge Village .
The lorry and car can be seen on either side of the crash scene in Stockbridge Lane.
The driver of the BMW was initially trapped inside his vehicle.
And a Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service spokesman said two crews and a search and rescue team were sent to the scene.
He confirmed firefighters helped the trapped man - who was unable to open the driver's door of the BMW - after he was assessed by paramedics.
He was taken to hospital for further assessment. The lorry driver was unhurt.
One witness told the ECHO: "There has been a big crash coming out of Stockbridge Village. Fire people and police everywhere!"
Police confirmed they were also called to the scene.
A spokesman said: "We were called to a road traffic accident involving a HGV and a car in Stockbridge Lane by the roundabout and the fire service were also in attendance."
He said although the road was not closed the accident "would have caused disruption".
