LOCAL referendum party press officer Chris Young was today recovering from a car accident. She was driving to work in Horwich from her Bromley Cross home when she was forced into a ditch by another driver near the Old Barn at Rivington. The driver hit another car and drove off. Despite her trauma, Mrs Young attended a public meeting of 90 people at Bolton central library last night. Local candidates for Bolton and Bury and North-west executives of the party spoke and fielded questions. Mrs Young said: "It was a very good meeting.''
