Liverpool Police (Liverpool standard) October 27, 2026 — Two women have been taken to hospital after a collision involving two cars on Caldway Drive in Netherley, with Merseyside Police closing the road while recovery work took place.
As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, emergency services were called to Caldway Drive at 11.17am on Tuesday, October 27, following reports of a road traffic collision involving a Porsche and a Jaecoo. A Merseyside Police spokesperson confirmed that two women were taken to hospital to be “checked over”.
The Liverpool ECHO reported that the crash led to Caldway Drive being closed for several hours. Pictures from the scene showed several police vehicles, while the road closure remained in place as the vehicles were recovered.
Which vehicles were involved in the Netherley road crash?
Merseyside Police described the incident as a two-vehicle road traffic collision between a Porsche and a Jaecoo. The force’s spokesperson said: “We were called at 11.17am – two vehicle RTC between a Porche and a Jaecoo.”
The police statement, as quoted by the Liverpool ECHO, added: “Two women taken to hospital to be checked over.” The spokesperson also said: “Vehicles are in the process of being recovered.”
No further details about the condition of either woman, the severity of their injuries, or whether either driver or any passenger required specialist treatment were included in the police statement reported by the Liverpool ECHO.
Why was Caldway Drive closed?
Caldway Drive was closed while emergency services dealt with the collision and waited for the vehicles to be recovered. The Liverpool ECHO reported that the closure remained in place “while the vehicles are recovered”, with several police vehicles visible at the scene.
The report did not state an exact reopening time. It also did not identify whether the closure affected traffic in one direction or the whole road, nor did it name any diversion route for drivers.
What did Merseyside Police say?
A Merseyside Police spokesperson provided a short account of the response. As reported by the Liverpool ECHO, the spokesperson said:
- “We were called at 11.17am – two vehicle RTC between a Porche and a Jaecoo.”
- “Two women taken to hospital to be checked over.”

The force did not announce an investigation, arrest, charge, or any allegation of dangerous or careless driving in the statement quoted by the Liverpool ECHO. No witness appeals or requests for dashcam footage were included in the available reporting.
What information has not been confirmed?
At the time of the Liverpool ECHO report, police had not released the names, ages or hometowns of the two women taken to hospital. The force also did not confirm which vehicle each woman was travelling in, whether they were drivers or passengers, or whether anyone else was involved.
There was no official confirmation about the extent of the women’s injuries. The police description that they were taken to hospital “to be checked over” did not specify whether the injuries were serious or minor.
The cause of the collision was also not confirmed. No statement from either vehicle manufacturer, the local council, or an ambulance service was included in the reporting available.
Background of the development
Caldway Drive is a residential road in Netherley, in south Liverpool. The area has previously seen road-safety incidents: in May 2024, Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and North West Ambulance Service attended a separate collision on Childwall Valley Road in Netherley, in which a car left the road, struck a lamppost and ended on its side against a garden wall.
In that earlier incident, the Liverpool ECHO reported that two occupants suffered minor injuries and that the road was partially closed while a recovery service removed the vehicle. The latest Caldway Drive collision is separate, and no connection between the two incidents has been stated by police.
Prediction: How could this affect Netherley residents and drivers?
For local residents and drivers, the immediate effect is likely to be disruption around Caldway Drive while recovery work continues. Motorists who normally use the road may need to allow extra journey time or use alternative routes until police confirm that the closure has lifted.
For people living nearby, the presence of police vehicles and a road closure may cause temporary access and parking disruption. Residents are likely to await further updates from Merseyside Police before knowing whether the collision will lead to any investigation or further road-safety measures.
For wider road users in Netherley, the incident highlights the importance of checking local traffic updates before travelling through the area. Any future police update is expected to clarify the women’s conditions, the cause of the collision and whether Caldway Drive has fully reopened.
