A sinkhole has opened up on a residential street in Gorton.
The crater appeared on Walmer Street in Abbey Hey on Wednesday evening.
The road surface appears to have 'buckled' and left a large crater of about four square metres.
Photos of the scene shared on social media earlier in the evening show a car being partially swallowed up by the hole.
The vehicle has since been removed.
Part of the street has been cordoned off by barriers and the emergency services remain at the scene late on Wednesday night.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service are in attendance, while police are at the scene speaking to residents.
Surveyors are also at the site and are understood to be assessing for any structural damage to surrounding properties.
No further details about the cause of the collapse have yet been confirmed.
The incident happened on an extraordinary and dramatic evening in Greater Manchester, which saw most areas blanketed in snow, following a day of torrential rain from Storm Christoph.
The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for ice overnight following a clearance of rain and snow, leading to difficult travel conditions.
Gritters have also been deployed as ice warnings are rolled out.
