Police are appealing after two women sadly lost their lives in a double fatal road traffic collision in Bolton yesterday morning.

At around 7:42am yesterday morning (Monday 22 December 2025), Greater Manchester Police (GMP) were called to reports of a collision at the junctions of Scout Road, Smithills Dean Road, Colliers Row Road, and Coal Pit Road, all in a semi-rural area of Bolton.

The driver of a VW Polo was travelling down Scout Road and collided with two pedestrians who were walking down Smithills Dean Road.

Both pedestrians, two women aged 57 and 59, suffered fatal injuries and sadly died at the scene.

The driver of the car, a 19-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing two deaths by dangerous driving, and investigations are now ongoing into this incident.

Officers from GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are now appealing to the public to help with their investigations, and are asking for anyone with any information, or who may have been in the area at the time the incident occurred, to please come forward.

This also includes anyone who witnessed the incident or have dashcam footage of it.
