TWO PEOPLE were taken to hospital after a collision on a residential street in a Flintshire town. 

Emergency services were called to Muirfield Road in Buckley at about 1.30pm on Thursday. 

Police blocked off the road following the incident - which involved what a North Wales Police spokesperson described as a motorbike and a car. 

Scottish Power engineers who were working near to the scene of the incident told The Leader that a car had collided with two children on E-scooters. 

An air ambulance landed near the scene, and subsequently airlifted a patient to Alder Hey Children's Hospital in Liverpool. Another was taken by road to Wrexham Maelor Hospital.
