'Enough is enough' a local councillor has said after yet another crash in Bolton.
Emergency services were called to Ainworth Lane in Tonge Moor on Wednesday night after a crash in which a car flipped on its side.
It's the latest crash to have taken place in Bolton, within recent weeks - and on another accident plagued road.
Police, fire and ambulance attended the scene at 9.50pm after the crash which left a number of parked cars damaged.
It is understood around six vehicles in total were damaged in the smash.
Footage obtained by The Bolton News shows an occupant of the vehicle with his feet on the ground and the vehicle on its side while a police officer attempts to break the front window open.
Although this crash is subject to a investigation, a local councillor has said the council is working with police to address road concerns as a whole, especially on that road where concerns have been raised previously.
Ward councillor Emily Mort said “enough is enough" when it comes to crashes on Bolton's roads.
She said: “Bad driving is endemic. The council is working with GMP to look at these issues across the borough.
“When it comes to terrible driving enough is enough.
“Speeding is never acceptable, particularly in a residential area near to two primary schools.”

One nearby resident who witnessed the aftermath of the incident, said that crashes were common in the area.
He said: “I heard a big bang so I looked outside. When I first heard it I wasn’t sure what it was.
“There were five parked cars that had been damage, one got overturned and another that had been driving.
“It is concerning, there are always crashes around here.
“Nobody sticks to the speed limit and people are always on their phones.
“It was at 9.50pm, I go out running and it’s the school holidays so there are kids about.
“This is the worst crash I have seen. There was also a police helicopter around.
Last September on the same road three cars were left damaged by a crash in the early morning.
And earlier this week a car overturned after a crash on Chip Hill Road, Daubhill, but no serious injuries were reported.
And on St Helens Road, Daubhill, last month, there was a major crash involving five vehicles after a police chase. That happened a month after a fatality on the same stretch of road.
Another passer-by told The Bolton News: "The road was shut from the Thicketford Rd side for around 200 yards, with a car on its side.
"There were two fire engines and four police cars. An ambulance was on the scene as well.
"The police helicopter was also circling in the area, over Thicketford Rd Road and Seven Acres Country Park."
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “At approximately 10pm on Wednesday 31 July, two fire engines from Bolton Central and Bolton North fire stations and the Enhanced Rescue Unit from Leigh fire station attended a crash involving 2 vehicles and 4 parked cars on Ainsworth Lane, Bolton.
“Firefighters assisted one person out of a trapped vehicle before they were taken into care by North West Ambulance Service. Crews worked with Greater Manchester Police to make the area safe and were in attendance for 50 minutes.”
A spokesman for North West Ambulance Service said an ambulance to the scene and treated on patient.
