Children hurt as cars crash in KFC queue
TWO children were taken to hospital after their family’s car was hit while queueing at Southport’s KFC drive-through.
The youngsters were not seriously injured but taken by ambulance as a precaution on Sunday afternoon.
Two other people from another car were taken in another ambulance.
The family had been queuing for food at the seafront KFC when a Citroen C1 and Ford Focus collided at the roundabout on Marine Drive.
One of the cars was shunted across the kerb, hitting the family’s car side-on.
Police, fire and ambulance services were all sent to the scene at 3.15pm, with a total of six people checked over by paramedics.
Officers closed the road
for around an hour and a half while the incident was dealt with and three fire engines were despatched to carry out safety checks.
A spokesman for North West
Ambulance Service confirmed that patients were taken to both Southport and Ormskirk Hospitals but no-one was seriously injured.
No arrests were made.
