The Ford's bonnet is completely crushed and the passenger-side door was completely removed. Two people were rushed to hospital following the crash, one with serious injuries and another with slight.
An eyewitness said he saw firefighters cutting the roof off one of the vehicles involved in the crash. He told The ECHO: "They were stuck inside the car. At least two fire engines are here and the roof is off the car."
Police closed Northway in both directions while emergency services dealt with the incident. A section of Hall Lane was also closed.
A spokesperson from Merseyside Police said: "We were called to Northway in Maghull at 3.50pm today following reports of a crash. We have closed Northway in both directions and some of Hall Lane.
"One person is being treated for serious injuries and one person for slight injuries. We are still at the scene and are asking people to avoid the area. Thanks for your patience."
