Driver trapped in car as road closed in both directions
A driver had to be cut out of their car after a crash in Daresbury. Fire crews from Warrington[1] and Lymm were called to the A56 Chester Road at 7.37pm tonight, December 26, following a two-car crash at the junction at Hobb Lane. On its Facebook[2] Page Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters are on the scene of a road traffic collision on the A56 Chester Road, at the junction of Hobb Lane in Daresbury.
