The driver, a woman who was injured, has since been arrested. The fire service confirmed she was rescued from the vehicle following the major collision this evening.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: “At around 5pm on Tuesday 14 April, fire crews were called to reports of a road traffic collision on George Street, Bury.
“Two fire engines from Bury and Whitefield stations, as well as the technical rescue unit from Ashton, were quickly mobilised to the incident, which involved a car colliding with a commercial building.
“Firefighters extricated a woman from the car, while another man inside the building was injured in the collision. Both were treated at the scene by paramedics and then taken to hospital by North West Ambulance Service.
