A TAXI firm came a double cropper today on the icy roads.

A car from K Cabs at Accrington went out of control on Accrington Road, Blackburn, and ploughed into three cars on the forecourt of Bleasdale's Boundary Garage.

A second taxi from the company was sent out to pick up the driver and also came a cropper when it skidded on ice near Daisy Dairy, Oswaldtwistle, and crashed into a wall.
