A woman had to be cut from the wreckage of a car after a "serious" crash led to a huge emergency services response on Saturday afternoon.

Police, the fire service and an air ambulance descended on Childwall Valley Road, Belle Vale, just after 2pm on Saturday, 8 August following a crash involving two cars.

The ECHO understands that a woman in one of the vehicles needed to be cut from the vehicle by firefighters following a serious crash.

A witness at the scene told the ECHO : "It looks like a serious accident has happened. There are so many ambulances, fire engines and an air ambulance."
