Bolton Crash Survivors Describe Ordeal as Police Examine Speed and Car Modifications

Friends' donations are nearing the target to support lengthy care for the four injured taxi passengers.

Overview

  • The head-on collision on Wigan Road in the early hours of 11 January killed taxi driver Masrob Ali, 54, and three teenagers, and left four taxi passengers with severe, life-changing injuries.
  • Survivors Georgina and Tom Daniels say they have undergone multiple surgeries and expect 24‑hour care, with the couple likely to live apart during long rehabilitation.
  • Greater Manchester Police say the inquiry remains in its early stages and is reviewing reported footage of very high speeds and information about possible vehicle modification of the Seat Leon.
  • A brother of one of the teens publicly said his sibling had been driving fast, and media have reported a clip allegedly showing speeds above 120 mph, which investigators are considering as part of the probe.
  • The community fundraiser has raised about £30,600 toward a £40,000 goal to help cover care and costs that insurance may not address, as families pay tribute to Mr Ali and call for safer roads.
