For a brief while, the road was closed while the issue was resolved.
A Merseyside Police spokesman said; “We were called to Newlands Road, St Helens at around 7.25pm following reports of a road traffic collision.
“A Vauxhall Astra reportedly collided with a parked Nissan Qashqai, causing damage but no injury. Details were exchanged.
The three guys did not show up for their May 31, 2024, sentencing hearing at Carlisle Crown Court.

Not only is it awkward for people who are unfamiliar with the jargon and expectations involved, but it also makes one feel like they need be tread carefully to avoid being teased for perceived indiscretions or ascriptive qualities. It is founded on a faulty understanding of social relations and oppression, at least in its distorted and poisonous form, and as such, it offers little to an emancipatory left.
“There has long been a scientific consensus that there are more than two biological sexes,” he said, in perhaps his most startling assertion. Sex is not a spectrum, even if intersex people were to represent a distinct biological sex (which they do not, in the absence of a third gamete). The bodily integrity claims made by intersex people are frequently used as justification for transgender and gay identity claims.
The show trashed all critics, arrogantly questioning their feminist credentials—implying that the correct feminist stance, according to Böhmermann, was to support the bill without reservations. His ‘mansplaining’ of feminism to women was not however to convince dissenters but to delegitimise them in front of any bystander: no decent person could hold such views, since they were clearly coming from the far right.
An examination has revealed that the damage caused by a fire in an apartment above a row of stores last week was so “extensive” that the origin of the blaze could not be identified.
Around 1:00 pm, seven fire engines arrived on the site, and cordons were put up on Thatto Heath Road while emergency personnel battled the fire.
As firefighters arrived, they discovered a first-floor apartment over a row of stores to be “well ablaze.”
According to the fire brigade, the fire was contained to the roof spaces of four terraced houses made of brick.
There was smoke coming from the buildings.
Road closures were implemented as firefighters battled the fire for more than six hours.
In an attempt to put out the fire, workers were observed using a crane to crack up the roof.
Following the incident, a representative for Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service stated: “On Monday afternoon, fire crews were alerted to a flat fire on Stevens Street, Scholes Lane, Thatto Heath, St Helens.
Seven fire engines and one aerial appliance are now on the scene, having been alerted at 12.59 p.m. and arriving at 1.04 p.m.
“A first-floor apartment over a series of stores was fully lit when the crew arrived. At the scene of the incident, the fire is inside the roof spaces of four terraced houses made of brick.”
He went on to say that everyone who was at the homes had been identified.
After putting out the fire, firefighters continued to monitor temperatures using a thermal imaging camera, address hotspots, and dampen the roof area using an aerial appliance.
He said that all firefighting stopped at 7:07 p.m., and the workers departed the area at 7:25 p.m.
The fire and rescue agency began an investigation to determine what caused the incident.
A Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service spokesman provided an update to the Star, stating: “An investigation into the fire has concluded and fire damage was so extensive that a specific cause could not be determined at this time.”
