Four in hospital after M6 crash
Their injuries are not thought to be life-threatening
Four people are in hospital after a crash on the M6, which shut the motorway for around six hours.
The crash, involving a Toyota Yaris and BMW, happened between junctions 22 and 23 norhbound just after 9pm.
The driver of the Toyota, a woman in her 50s, and the driver of the BMW, a man in his 30s, have both suffered suspected multiple fractures.
The front-seat passenger of the BMW, a man in his 40s, suffered a hand injury, and the rear-seat passenger, a man in his 30s, suffered a facial injury.
All four are being treated, with none of their injuries thought to be life-threatening.
The motorway is open again and an investigation into the crash is ongoing.
Detective Sergeant Kurt Timpson, Lead Investigating Officer from Merseyside Police's Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU), said:
"At this stage we are seeking to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision.
"We believe there were a number of vehicles who may have witnessed the collision but left the scene without stopping or passing their details prior to police arrival. I would ask those drivers or passengers to contact us as a matter of urgency.
"I would also ask anyone who was driving on either carriageway of the M6 between J22 and 23 who thinks they captured something significant on their dashcam to get in touch."
