Emergency crews responded to two separate collisions in Liverpool on Friday.

The first occurred near the Tim Hortons shortly after 10 a.m. A Subaru Forrester and Hyundai Elantra collided as one was exiting onto Bristol Avenue and the other car was turning at the intersection.

An RCMP spokesman said nobody was injured, but both cars were towed.

The second one happened at about 11:45 a.m. at Henry Hensey Drive and Bristol Avenue. RCMP, EHS and Liverpool fire crews were on scene. Three vehicles were involved in that incident. Nobody was injured, RCMP said.

A spokeswoman said it appeared one car ran into another car, which then bumped another vehicle.

It snarled traffic for about an hour.
