Officers have confirmed that a man was taken to hospital after a crash which closed a road in Timperley for several hours yesterday.
Emergency services were called to Wellington Road yesterday morning at around 4.15am after local residents reported hearing a loud bang.
It transpired that a grey Volkswagen Scirocco had suffered serious damage to its front bumper, windscreen and roof, with wheelie bins and rubbish scattered across the road close to Wellington School.
Greater Manchester Police initially told us that the incident was being investigated as a serious collision.
However, police have now indicated that the incident was not as serious as first thought, and that a male casualty was taken to hospital for treatment after suffering a head injury. They have not confirmed his age.
The incident is now being investigated by GMP's road policing unit and no arrests have been made.
A helicopter was heard flying around the scene at around 6am yesterday morning, but police have not confirmed to us whether the crash was the result of a police pursuit.
A Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson confirmed that one fire engine had attended the scene.
They said: "Around 4.15am on Monday, December 9, one fire engine from Altrincham fire station was called to attend a crash involving one car on Wellington Road, Timperley. Crews arrived quickly to make the vehicle safe before departing the scene after approximately 17 minutes in attendance.”
