An 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the death of another 18-year-old in Altrincham this morning.
Officers out on patrol found a man with severe injuries on Booth Road at around 5am this morning.
The 18-year-old was in a critical condition and despite the best efforts of emergency services, died at the scene.
