A £100,000 car was badly damaged after the driver lost control on a roundabout in Horwich and was in collision with a road sign.

The Aston Martin Vantage had left the M61 at junction six on Monday morning and was being driven towards the A6 behind a lorry when it careered off the road.

Thousands of pounds worth of damage was caused to the car after it hit the road sign. The driver escaped injury and had to wait for a recovery vehicle to tow his car away.
