Emergency services were called to Blackburn Road in the early hours of the morning after a car crashed into railings.

The call was made at around 2.50am after a traffic light was taken down in the incident.

Fire and police attended and the area was taped off for a short time.

The driver of the Vauxhall Corsa remained at the scene but a passenger reportedly left.

The fire service at Bolton North sent one unit to the scene which was there for around 45 minutes and police cordoned it off.

A fire service spokesperson said: "At 2.50am we went to Moss Bank Way at the junction with Blackburn Road near the Asda.
