Two drivers are in hospital with serious injuries after a three-way smash with a coach in Manchester city centre.
The incident happened at around 5.30am this morning on Fairfield Street at the junction with Great Ancoats Street and Pin Mill Brow.
Emergency services rushed to the scene and a large police cordon was put in place as debris was left scattered across several roads.
A spokesperson said the North West Ambulance service sent three ambulances, two rapid response vehicles and an operational commander to deal with the incident.
The scene at a key junction into the city centre caused major disruption with long tailbacks on Ashton Old Road and congestions in the Northern Quarter.
Pictures from the scene showed a silver car was left with its front end entirely crushed, while a beige car had its driver door missing.
A Selwyns coach was also damaged.
NWAS said two people were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
One was a man in his 40s, the age and gender of the other is unknown.
Police later said neither are in a life-threatening condition and the roads reopened after all the vehicles were taken away on recovery trucks.
