Four Police officers were hospitalised yesterday (11th July) after two immediate response vehicles were involved in a “serious” collision during the early hours of the morning.
Merseyside Police said that the two response vehicles responded on blue-lights to two separate emergency calls when they collided with each other in Tuebrook.
Two male and two female officers were taken to hospital by the North West Ambulance Service.
Two of the officers have since been discharged from hospital.
It is understood that no other vehicles were involved in the collision.
Sergeant Steve Smith from Merseyside Police, Serious Collision Investigation Unit said:
“We are carrying out an investigation into the collision and CCTV and witness enquiries are underway.
“I would ask anyone who was driving along West Derby Road in the early hours of this morning who witnessed the collision or can assist us with our investigation to contact us.
“Road closures will remain in place today while we carry out our enquiries and I would like to thank the public for their patience while this incident is being dealt with.”

WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?

We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger?
