Man arrested following multi-vehicle collision in Bolton

A man has been arrested following a multi-vehicle collision in Bolton

Police were called to Smithills Dean Road to reports of a crash involving several cars on Tuesday (September 16). 

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said a driver involved in the accident allegedly failed a drugs test at the scene. 

The force claims it’s the second time the driver has been arrested for drug driving in four days. 

In a tweet, GMP Traffic said: “#XT14 attended Smithills Dean Road Bolton following RTC involving several cars. The driver of an Astra (not the one that crashed) would fail a drugs test.

“The 2nd time he's been arrested for drug driving in 4 days! Male arrested again and enquiries ongoing into the RTC."
