Motorist taken to hospital after Fire
Appliance on 999 callout collides with car on Lord Street
AT around 1.50pm, on Friday, 3 July 2015, a Merseyside
Fire and Rescue Service Appliance was involved in a collision with a Skoda car,
on Lord Street, Southport. The Fire Appliance from the Southport base was on
route to an emergency incident when the crash happened, leaving debris all over
the Junction. Also when the paramedic car came, many drivers ignored it as they
looked at the aftermath, nearly resulting in another crash. Merseyside Fire and
Rescue Service later told the press that:- "The fire appliance involved
was responding to a 999 call and had blue lights in operation. A man from the
car was assessed at the scene by paramedics and was taken to Southport Hospital
for a precautionary check. The firefighters were also assessed at the scene by
paramedics and are receiving precautionary checks. The firefighters made the
scene safe. An internal investigation will be carried out to establish the cause
of the incident." Any witnesses should call Police on:- 101 or
Crimestoppers on:- 0800 555111.
