A CRASH involving two vehicles closed Deane Road this morning.

Police closed the road in both directions, between College Way and Lanchester Drive, following the collision.

A nearby shop owner who saw the crash happen said: "A Volkswagen came out of Salisbury Street and crashed into the Mini.

"The Volkswagen then drove off. The lady in the mini just looked shocked.

"The road was closed, but not for long."

An ambulance also attended the scene, although it is not yet known if anyone was injured.

The road has since reopened.

Bolton Council have been called out to deal with an oil spillage in the road.
