Three people, including an eleven-year-old boy, have been injured in a horror crash in Worsley after a car reportedly hit a cyclist and careered into a line of parked vehicles.
Residents at the scene in Moorside Road say the vehicle flipped onto its side after the collision.
Firefighters, police and paramedics were at the scene shortly before 6.30pm on Sunday evening (June 7). Moorside Road is closed in both directions.
Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service confirmed that the incident involved three vehicles and three people were taken to hospital - including an 11-year-old boy.
Eyewitnesses reported that the roof of a white Range Rover had to be cut off by firefighters.
They told the Manchester Evening News: "There’s been a horrendous crash in Worsley on Moorside road. All closed off both ways.
"Loads of fire engines, paramedics and police just at the scene. It looks like quite a few people are injured.
