Residents living near to where a building collapsed after a car smashed into it said it was an ‘accident waiting to happen’ and said they have been campaigning for speed bumps in the area for years.
Emergency services were called to Canterbury Street in Ashton-under-Lyne at around 6.45pm on Thursday evening (January 5) following reports a BMW had smashed straight into the Alan Fish LTD electricals store, causing the already damaged building to completely crumble.
Greater Manchester Police later confirmed a woman had been arrested on suspicion of drink driving and was taken into custody. There were no reported injuries.
