Emergency services were called to Wigan Road in Bolton today to a collision involving at least two cars this afternoon
Another car crash has taken place on the same road where four people were killed in a horror smash just six days ago. Emergency services were called to Wigan Road in Bolton this afternoon (Saturday) to a collision involving at least two cars.
It took place near the junction with Beaumont Road around a mile from where a taxi driver and three teenagers’ lives were lost in the devastating collision in the early hours of Sunday. Four other passengers who were travelling in the taxi at the time of the crash, at around 12.45am, were left with serious injuries and rushed to hospital.
Pictures from today’s crash, thought to have taken place at around 3pm, show a grey car with a badly damaged front end and debris strewn across the road. Another car appeared to have extensive damage to its passenger side.
Police, paramedics and a fire engine were said to have been at the scene. It’s not clear if anyone was injured.
Greater Manchester Police have been approached for comment. Sunday’s crash involved a red Seat Leon which collided head-on with a Citroen C4 Picasso taxi. The teenagers in the Seat have been named as Mohammed Jibrael Mukhtar, 18, Farhan Patel, 18 and 19-year-old Mohammed Danyaal.
Taxi driver, Masrob Ali, 54, also died in the crash. Today two of Mr Ali’s passengers, married couple Georgina and Tom Daniels, told they how they ‘can’t fathom how we’re all still alive’.
“It should have taken our lives,” a badly-injured Georgina, 28, told the Manchester Evening News, from her hospital bed. She added: “I have no idea how we’re all still here after seeing what happened to everyone and the state we are all in”
