A TWO-CAR crash slowed traffic on a busy main road in Bolton.

The incident happened at approximately 4pm in Deane Road, near the junction with Fern Street.

Two cars, one a private hire vehicle, pulled out and hit each other.

They both then crashed into a garden wall.

Both drivers, two men, suffered minor injuries but had got out of their vehicles before emergency services arrived.

Neither was taken to hospital, although an ambulance did arrive on the scene.

The road remained open but traffic slowed in both directions.
