Police issue update after man, 26, dies and three others critically hurt injured in horror smash

Three people who were critically injured in a horror crash in Manchester are now 'stable', police have confirmed.

The smash happened on Chancellor Lane, at the junction with Devonshire Street North, at around 7am yesterday morning (Sunday). Police said a car, understood to have been a grey hatchback, was travelling out of the city centre when it 'lost control before colliding with a bollard'.

Four people - all men - were rushed to hospital from the scene. The force, however, confirmed a 26 year-old man later died as a result of his injuries.

The two other passengers in the car are also in a stable condition in hospital, but both have serious injuries. The spokesperson also confirmed that no arrests had been made in relation to the crash.

Any witnesses are being urged to get in touch with officers. Police particularly want to speak to anyone who might have dash cam or doorbell footage of the incident.
