A POST box was flattened during a road accident in Sandiway last Saturday night.

The two-car accident happened at the junction of the A556 and Dalefords Lane, opposite Define Food and Wine at 7pm.

A Vauxhall Nova turning from the A556 into School Lane was in collision with a Land Rover Discovery travelling along Chester Road, which in turn collided with a post box.

Two ambulances attended, but there were only minor injuries.

Roger Wharmby, owner of Define Food and Wine said: "There used to be many accidents when there were no traffic lights but it doesn't often happen now."
