Dramatic images show the moment an Asda HGV crashed into two houses in Bolton earlier today. Firefighters based in Horwich, Bolton, scrambled to the scene at around 10.30am on Tuesday.
No injuries have been reported in the incident, although it's not known whether anyone was inside the houses at the time. The back of the green-liveried HGV can be shown embedded into the adjoining fronts of two houses on Napier Street in Horwich in the images.
Brickwork can be seen damaged, together with the adjoining roof. Firefighters are also pictured at the scene. One witness claimed the HGV got stuck in a cul-de-sac and was attempting to reverse out at the time of the smash, but nothing further has been confirmed.
The HGV was later removed from the scene, said the fire service. Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service sent a single fire engine to the scene in the aftermath.
