We were called to Manchester Street at around 10:50am to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian.

It is believed the vehicle – a brown-coloured Vauxhall Corsa – having travelled along King Street, turned onto Manchester Street where it collided with the woman as she was crossing the road.

The woman, in her 70s, was taken to hospital where she remains in a critical condition with serious injuries.

The driver, a 24-year-old woman, stopped at the scene and was later arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving.

She was interviewed and has been released on bail.

Anyone who saw the incident or has dashcam or doorbell footage should call our Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741 quoting log 1041-10/03/25.
