Family escapes unscathed after out-of-control car crashes into Wigan showroom wall

Police, fire and ambulance were all called to the collision on Pottery Road, Wigan, at 4.10pm on Sunday October 8 but thankfully none of the vehicle’s occupants – a man, woman and two children – needed medical treatment.

It is believed the driver had swerved to avoid something on the road when the crash – into the perimeter wall of the Chorley Nissan dealership site – occurred.

A spokesman for Wigan fire station said that all that was required of his team was to make the stricken vehicle safe by disconnecting its battery in case of a fuel leak.

He said that paramedics were assessing the family members and none required hospital treatment.
