A major emergency response was called to a street following an incident outside a car wash on Tuesday evening (January 28). Police, fire crews and paramedics descended on Newton Road, in the Lowton area between Wigan and Warrington at around 5.30pm.
Pictures from the scene showed multiple fire engines and ambulance vehicles lining the road. A nearby gym also announced it had to close 'immediately' and urged members to avoid travelling to the area as they were to remain shut for the rest of the night.
It was later confirmed that emergency crews were called to a collision involving one car, and that the male driver had to be cut out of the vehicle before being rushed to hospital.
It's understood the car had been driven into a wall or bollard at the scene. The driver's injuries are not described as serious or life-threatening.
