THREE people were taken to hospital following a car accident on Sunday night.
Emergency services were called to the A61 Park Road just before 11pm following reports that there had been a collision between two cars.
One vehicle was on fire when emergency services arrived. The road was blocked for a number of hours while officers, fire and ambulance worked at the scene.
Three people were taken to hospital with serious, but not life threatening injuries.
An investigation is currently underway to determine what happened.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
