Car plows in to community center in crash forcing Liverpool road to close

A crash caused a Liverpool road to shut and forced a community center to close its doors.

Officers from Merseyside Police were called just before 10.25am on Sunday to Maiden Lane in Clubmoor to reports of a crash. Pictures of the scene show the side wall of My Clubmoor Community Hub damaged, as dozens of bricks lay on the floor.

Images also show a cordon around the building as officers make it safe. The community center confirmed on Facebook its “hub” activities will be suspended until the building is made safe.
