A car has crashed into the corner of a pub and burst into flames.<\/p>\n

Fire crews were called to the White Lion on York Street in Heywood, Rochdale, at about 03:15 BST, after the vehicle smashed into the building. <\/p>\n

The wall has collapsed on the corner of the pub, with smoke damage visible from the street. <\/p>\n

Greater Manchester Police urged motorists to avoid the area and said the road was likely to be closed “for some time”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The force has not yet confirmed the extent of the driver’s injuries. <\/p>\n

Eyewitnesses told BBC Radio Manchester<\/a> they were shocked by the incident, and said you could still see the vehicle inside the building.<\/p>\n

Some gathered outside the police cordon said the crash was “terrible”, and it was “distressing” to see the state of a “very popular pub”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Others described the corner of York Road where the pub sits as a “busy, dangerous area”, where accidents have previously occurred.<\/p>\n

Four fire engines came to the scene in the centre of Heywood in the early hours, with crews using breathing equipment and hose jets to put out the blaze. <\/p>\n

The area has been completely cordoned off by police as emergency services continue to work in the area. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
