Chorley New Road reopens after crash involving cyclist
The incident occurred around 1.40pm, resulting in the road being temporarily closed by police.
Police stated the crash resulted in no serious injuries but the cyclist was taken to hospital.
A GMP spokesperson said: “At around 1.40pm today, officers responded to reports of a collision between a car and a cyclist on Chorley New Road, Bolton.
“The cyclist was subsequently taken to hospital with non life-threatening or changing injuries.”
The incident occurred at the eastern tip of Chorley New Road, near the junction with Chorley Old Road.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the driver has been reported for ‘driving without due care’.
The cyclist was taken to hospital as a precaution and it is understood the expectation is that the injuries sustained are not serious.
The road has since fully reopened to drivers and pedestrians, and no delays are to be expected.
