During the incident, a Greater Manchester Police spokesman said: “We were called at around 6.30am because a vehicle had hit the railing and overturned.”

“There are no injuries, but since the vehicle is in the middle of the road, it causes some obstruction.”

“The fire brigade is also on site.”

A spokesman for the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “Just before 6.30am today (Friday 24 May) a fire engine from Bolton Fire Station was called to a report of a car on its roof on Snydle Way in Bolton.

“The firefighters secured the fire site and were on site for about 10 minutes.”

Traffic is now returning to normal.
