POLICE officers in Widnes have re-opened Ditton Road after a car had overturned. 

The road had been closed in both directions and there was queueing traffic due to an overturned car at A562 Speke Road / A562 (Ditton Roundabout) just before the roundabout.

There are also roadworks in the area adding to congestion.

A Cheshire Fire spokesman confirmed the road had now been 'made safe'.
