Two fire engines were called to the scene on Clifford Street just before 9pm tonight.
Driver and pedestrians extremely lucky to walk away from this RTC nr McDonalds in Chorley tonight, lots of young drivers nearby observing the wreckage, hopefully cause them to consider the consequences of driving manner #fatal4 @NW_Fire_Control @LancashireFRS pic.twitter.com/aX5URotNSf

An eyewitness said they were ‘shocked’ two people got out of the car.
He said: “I honestly thought they wouldn’t of made it out alive, it was a total wreck.
“Apparently two people were in the car but I only saw one stood next to the paramedic, and I was heading to McDonald’s when I saw the police van blocking the road.
”I heard that the driver went through the railings.
“I also heard it was a BMW but it was so hard to tell at the time. That man’s lucky to be still walking after the state of the car.
“It was not on fire as the fire crew sprayed it with water but there wasn’t any signs of it lighting.”
