Two mums have spoken of their horror after a huge ASDA lorry smashed into the front of their houses. They said it was just pure luck no one was injured as work got underway determine if the two family homes are safe to stay in after the drama in Bolton this morning (Tuesday).
The articulated lorry had driven up Napier Drive in Horwich after the driver's sat-nav told him he was able to get through to Chorley New Road, locals said, when it is in fact a cul-de-sac blocked by bollards at one end.
The HGV then backed into two semi-detached properties as it tried to turn in the road causing suspected structural damage police said. ASDA have apologised and say they are "working to help fix the damage as soon as possible.”
