Emergency services and council officers are on the scene after a car has "crashed into a bedroom" in Leigh.
An ambulance and around five council officers are in Eastwood Old Road after the crash involving a black Ford car before 3pm this afternoon, with photos showing a hole in the wall where the car has crashed.
The building is understood to be sheltered housing, opposite Daves Hardware store.
Stephen Aylen, non-aligned councillor for Belfairs ward, said: "There are four others in that block and it has smashed through a resident's bedroom."
He told the Echo the other people in the block are "a bit shaken up" but are supporting the resident who lives there.
"I hope the driver is okay, it is a shocker to hear that this happened," he added.
"The council support team will need to have things checked over by structural engineers once the car is removed to check the building is safe and secure."
The East of England Ambulance Service has been contacted for comment.
