Billy Joe Sharratt, 20, of HMP Hindley, had denied aggravated vehicle taking and causing an accident which resulted in injury.

He also denied taking a vehicle without the owner's consent.

But he changed his pleas to guilty as a three-day trial was due to begin at Bolton Crown Court.

Sharratt was also banned from driving for three years and must pay a £128 victim surcharge.
