Four officers were injured when their cars crashed into each other at the junction of West Derby Road and Green Lane in Tuebrook in the early hours of 11 July.

Police say one of the female officer suffered serious injuries and remains in hospital.

The second female officer sustained pelvic and leg injuries and is also still in hospital.

The two other male officers were taken to hospital to be checked over but were later released with minor injuries.

"We understand how difficult it must be for the other officers involved and we will remain in contact with them and their families as they recover as well as offering our support to their colleagues and officers and staff across the force.
