A GARDEN wall was demolished when a car lost control at a notorious accident hotspot in Radcliffe.

The Rover car, being driven by a local woman, smashed through the low-level wall and damaged a drainpipe but stopped inches away from the house in Bolton Road.

The accident happened at 4.30pm on Saturday. The driver was treated for minor injuries by paramedics at the scene and was taken to hospital as a precaution. No other cars were involved.

Special traffic calming measures have recently been installed to make Bolton Road safer.
