A WOMAN has been hit by two cars in Hoylake.

Police officers confirmed they were called to the scene on Market Street in Hoylake at around 6.45pm on Wednesday, January 11 following reports that a pedestrian had been hit by two vehicles.

There is no update on the woman's condition as of yet.

One local resident, who asked not be named, said: "I only live in the other road and it was all blocked off. 

"I could see there was something going on because all the cars and busses were stopped.

"I thought something must be going on. 

"My granddaughter was having food delivered and she said: 'oh it probably won't get here now' but when the man arrived I said to him 'oh you got here OK?' and he said they'd just t a tent up and that was at nearly 10pm - as soon as he said that I though 'Oh god'.

"I've lived here my whole life and I just want to know if I know her. It's a close knit community."
