An eyewitness, who was cycling along Pepper Lane, went to help and saw a woman climbing out of the car through the window.

He phoned the emergency services and ordered people to keep away as he thought there was a fuel leak.

The witness said the driver of one of the vans claimed he had lost control when a wasp or bee had tried to sting him and driven onto the opposite side of the road.

A North West Ambulance Service spokesman said one woman was taken to hospital by ambulance, but no details of her injuries could be provided.

Firefighters from Hindley isolated the car's battery.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said no arrests had been made.
