A woman was taken to hospital following a late-night smash involving a Toyota Aygo car and a white van.

Emergency services were called at around 10.15pm last night to the crash at the junction of Coronation Street and Albert Road.

Police said: "One woman was taken to hospital. Her condition was not described as serious."

A North West Ambulance Service spokesman said two people, a man and a woman, were hurt in the crash, but only the woman required hospital treatment. They said: "(There were) two potential patients. But having said that, only one looks like they were taken to hospital, a woman in her 30s, it doesn’t look like she suffered life-threatening injuries."
