EMERGENCY crews were called to deal with a gas leak after a car hit the side of a house and broke a gas pipe.
Fire crews from Oldham and Chadderton were called to house on Plato Street, Chadderton, at 10pm yesterday.

A Fire Service spokesman said: “Police were also there investigating what had happened.
