A Greater Manchester Police (GMP) van was present with its flashing lights on, with the crashed car blocking one of the lanes on the street.

Traffic was able to get around the car in the other lane, but due to the blockage, there was significant build up back to the Bolton train station junction.

GMP has been approached for comment.
