Last night a Stagecoach bus crashed into a gym in Westhoughton at around 6:30pm.
The gym, Miss-FIT, located on School Street received damage to the outer-wall and a window which has now been boarded up.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said in an update: "At 18:40 on 10 June, firefighters were called to reports of a road traffic collision involving a bus, a car and a building on School Street in Westhoughton, Bolton.
“Two fire engines from Atherton and Hindley stations, and the technical response unit from Leigh quickly attended.
“Crews worked with colleagues from Northwest Ambulance Service (NWAS) and Greater Manchester Police to assess the area and make the scene safe.
“One casualty was conveyed to hospital by NWAS.
“Firefighters were in attendance for around two hours.”
The junction of Church Street and Market Street has reopened, and traffic is flowing smoothly.
It’s currently unknown what caused the bus to crash, and Stagecoach have been approached for a comment.
