One person was taken to hospital and three other 'walking wounded' were treated by paramedics following a crash between an Audi and a taxi in Stockport.
Police, paramedics and firefighters were called to the scene following the smash at the junction of Kingsway and Gatley Road in Cheadle at about 9.25pm on Sunday.

A silver Mercedes taxi could be seen at the crossroads and debris was scattered across the dual carriageway.
The driver of the black Audi said: "The taxi hit my car, I don't know how I ended up where I did."
The busy crossroads was closed for a time following the crash.
