Car overturned at Westhoughton junction near Sainsbury’s
On Saturday, March 7, emergency services attended the scene at the junction connecting Mill Street and Cricketers Way, close to Sainsbury’s in Westhoughton.
Just after 6pm, part of Mill Street was reportedly closed by police while officers dealt with the incident, although traffic continued to flow along Cricketers Way.
A photograph taken at 6.10pm shows a white car lying upside down in the road, with three police vehicles present and the area partially cordoned off.
Around 8pm, a resident said: “Mill Street is still closed in one direction but the overturned car is now being loaded on a truck to take it away.
“The barriers at the pedestrian crossing have been damaged in the crash.”
It is not yet known how the vehicle came to be overturned or whether anyone was injured in the incident.
The Bolton News has contacted Greater Manchester Police for an official statement.
