An eyewitness told
The
Bolton News that the fire service, police and ambulance teams all attended the incident which happened at around 6pm in Vale Avenue. Rai Hirst said: It was amazing to see neighbours assisting with the traffic to keep those helping safe. People rushed from their houses after hearing a loud bang - it is just how people are in Horwich. They will always help. The lights from the emergency services can be seen as far away as Blackrod, with several vehicles believed to have attended the scene. Mr Hirst added: Whilst I am certainly not saying speed was a factor, the amount of near misses is incredible with folk using the road as a racetrack.
