Molesworths crash advert
Rochdale solicitors Molesworths Bright Clegg has been criticised for a "bad taste" advert in the wake of the crash at Alton Towers.
Four people were badly injured as two carriages collided on the Smiler ride on Tuesday.
The BBC has reported that the firm apologised, saying: "We jumped the gun trying to be topical before knowing how serious things were.
"It's obvious now we reacted too quickly without checking all the facts. As stated above, we unreservedly apologise to anyone who took offence at our tweet and, again, send everyone involved in the accident our best wishes for a speedy recovery."
The tweet has been deleted.
