Man caught with trousers down fleeing car crash completely bare-bottomed in Bolton

This is the eye-opening moment a man wearing just a t-shirt and socks hurriedly flees the scene of a car crash.

Proving you can run faster without your trousers on, the man was thought to be involved in a three-way smash before scarpering from the scene bare-bottomed in Bolton.

He is filmed jogging away holding his pants and looking behind him at a white car seemingly abandoned at the junction of Wigan Road alongside two other damaged vehicles.

A Weimaraner dog looks on bewildered as the suspect turns and tiptoes into the woods in just his socks before vanishing.

The video quickly went viral with nearly a million views on Facebook with locals saying the naked escape could ‘only happen in Bolton’.

One speculates in the comments that he could’ve been running in terror after being ‘caught s******* his lover by her furious husband’.

Others demanded, ‘I need answers’ after the footage was posted on January 17.

One said: ‘Even the dog is like “what the f*** lad?”‘

One neighbor told the Daily Mail: ’Different videos from different angles kept appearing – we have no idea who the man is, we couldn’t see his face, only his backside! Fortunately, there were no close-ups.’

Another added: ‘At first we were concerned he was a flasher, then there were loads of rumours he’d been up to no good with another man’s wife and the husband had come home, so he’d had to leg it quickly.

‘It’s not something you see every day – only in Bolton!’

Greater Manchester Police confirmed they had made an arrest following the collision.

A spokesman said: ‘Mark Richards, 48, of Skelmersdale, Lancashire, has been charged with failure to provide a specimen.

‘He has been bailed and is due to appear at Wigan and Leigh Magistrates on 4 March 2026.’
