A chilling video of a driver reaching speeds of 122 mph, captured just hours before a devastating crash in Bolton, is now part of a police investigation. The footage, believed to have been recorded by a passenger in the Seat Leon involved in the fatal accident, shows the driver weaving through traffic at breakneck speeds. The crash, which occurred on Wigan Road on Sunday, January 11, resulted in the deaths of three teenagers in the Seat Leon and the driver of a Citroen C4 Picasso taxi. The taxi driver, 54-year-old Masrob Ali, was also killed in the 'devastating' crash. Five injured passengers were taken to the hospital, with a 29-year-old woman in the Citroen suffering potentially life-threatening injuries. The video, shared extensively on social media, was filmed at 3 am on Saturday, January 10, just 24 hours before the fatal crash at 12:50 am on Sunday. Greater Manchester Police are probing the clip as part of their investigations. The police have appealed for any witnesses to come forward, urging anyone who saw the vehicle driving before the collision, witnessed the incident itself, or has dashcam/CCTV footage of the incident to share it with them. The investigation is still in its early stages, and the police are working to establish the full circumstances of the tragic incident. The incident has sparked a debate about the impact of sharing footage on social media during investigations, with Detective Inspector Andrew Page emphasizing the importance of mindful sharing to avoid further distress to the families involved.
