Firefighters cut the roof off a car to free a passenger after a crash at Five Lane Ends today.

The man and two other people in the vehicle were taken to hospital where their injuries are not believed to be serious.

Police are investigating the cause of the collision, which happened between a Vauxhall car and a taxi, at around noon.

Idle Road was closed at its junction with Bolton Road for a short time to allow broken glass to be cleared from the road.

Fire crews from Idle, Rawdon and Bradford attended the scene.
