CHESTER Road is now open following a serious crash this morning.

It was closed for around five hours following a four vehicle collision at 8.05am.

Traffic is now able to travel in both directions.

Police say a 25-year-old man has been taken to Wythenshawe Hospital with serious leg injuries.

A 28-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man were both taken to Warrington Hospital to be checked over.

Two people were cut from vehicles following the crash that involved three cars and a lorry, according to officers.

The air ambulance was called along with other emergency crews.

Chester Road was closed in both directions between Runcorn Road and Daresbury Express Way.

Warrington Borough Council’s highways team had put diversion in place via the A49.

This route was also affected by a lane closure following a sewer collapse in Stockton Heath.

Anyone with information can call police on 101.
