Several injured after car hits pedestrians in Manchester

Officers investigating a multiple casualty collision in Trafford in Greater Manchester overnight have made an arrest.

Police were called to Europa Way, Trafford Park to reports that a car had collided with a number of pedestrians. 

Five people who have been injured in the collision have been taken to hospital.   Another person has also presented themselves at hospital but their injuries are not thought to be serious.

The car failed to stop at the scene.   A 21-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and failing to stop after a collision. He remains in police custody.

GMP’s Chief Superintendent Jo Rogerson, said: “We now have a man in custody and we will be questioning him under caution as part of our investigation. 

“This is an extremely serious incident that we are dealing with and I
cannot stress the importance of people contacting us if they know something.   “Any information, no matter how insignificant people think it may be, could be the piece that we need so please, call us.”  Published: by Radio NewsHub
