A DRIVER and her passengers escaped serious injury in a crash that closed a town centre road.
Their silver Volkswagen Golf skidded and knocked down two Belisha beacons before striking a lamp post on a traffic island outside the entrance to the Grosvenor Casino car park in Ormrod Street.
The emergency services were called at just before 9.30am this morning to reports of a collision.
Traffic police have shut Ormrod Street at either end.
North West Ambulance Service said three people were involved and were checked over by paramedics at the scene.
None suffered serious injury or were taken to hospital.
There have been no arrests and no other vehicle was involved.
