A woman is in a critical condition after a crash involving three vehicles. 

Emergency services were called just before 4.10pm yesterday to Bolton Road, Roddlesworth.

They found that a VW Golf, travelling on Bolton Road, had crashed with a BMW car and then with a second BMW.

The driver of the VW Golf, a woman in her 40s, suffered multiple injuries and is in a critical condition in hospital.

A man in his 30s, who was driving the second BMW, suffered a serious back injury and is being treated in hospital.

The driver of the first BMW was unhurt.

Sgt Michael Higginson said: “This was a serious collision and my thoughts are very much with the two people who are being treated for their injuries in hospital.

“As part of our investigation into the collision, we are appealing for witnesses and for anyone who has dashcam footage from Bolton Road around the time.
