A main road in Westhoughton was closed in both directions following a two-car crash this morning.

Hindley Road was closed for an hour as firefighters released one of the occupants in the car.

The collision, which happened just after 7am, involved a Vauxhall Astra and Vauxhall Astra Van. Both drivers were taken to hospital suffering from minor injuries.

The road was reopened just before 8.30am but many buses services were delayed. Services are back to normal now.
