Emergency services were called to Bag Lane in Atherton, Wigan, at 11.23pm last night (June 4). Two fire engines attended the scene near the junction with Mealhouse Lane, as well as police and paramedics. Manchester Police said a woman suffered minor injuries following the crash.

Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said two people were treated at the scene by paramedics before being taken to hospital.

A police car was present and was still at the scene this morning (Friday). The front door of the property was seen to have been torn off in the accident.

The bricks above the doorway were also displaced, leaving a significant amount of debris on the sidewalk outside. The windows were boarded up and the sidewalk outside the house was also blocked.

A spokesman for Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: “Shortly after 11.23pm last night (Thursday, June 4), two fire engines and an advanced rescue unit from Atherton, Hindley and Leigh fire stations were called to reports of a road traffic collision involving an electric car and a house on Bag Lane, Atherton, Manchester. “Crews quickly arrived at the scene.

“Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus used a hose reel, shrouding jets and battery-powered cutting equipment to reduce the risk of fire and worked with GMP to make the area safe. Colleagues from the North West Ambulance Service treated two people at the scene and took them to hospital. Firefighters were there for approximately two hours.”
