This ethereal glow is nothing out of the ordinary - just a photo QLocal's Roger Blaxall took last night after a minor Aughton RTA caused major problems at a key Aughton junction.
A Ford Focus and Tata Loadbeta light truck hit each other at around 4.45pm at the junction of Moss Delph Lane and Prescot Road on Doctor's Bridge with a Road Policing officer from Preston (!) there for three hours (!!) awaiting a recovery truck.
The bump saw long waits during the local rush hour with diversions set up.
