Woman who died in Bury car crash named

A woman who died in a car crash in Bury has been named as Marukh Aslam.

Emergency services rushed to Bolton Road West, in Holcombe Brook, just before 1.40am last Wednesday (December 2).

It followed reports that a black Audi A1 had collided with a wall.

Marukh Aslam, 35, of Radcliffe, was pronounced dead at the scene.

An inquest into her death will open at Rochdale Coroner's Court at 9am on Friday (December 11).

Police arrested a 44-year-old woman on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, driving whilst unfit through drink or drugs and police assault.

She has been released on bail.

Officers are appealing for anyone with dashcam footage, or information about the crash, to get in touch.

PC Suzanne Keenan, of Greater Manchester Police's (GMP) Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This collision, very sadly, resulted in the death of the passenger.

“Our thoughts are with her loved ones.

“A woman is in custody but our investigation is ongoing and I appeal to anyone with information/ dash cam footage or who saw a black Audi A1 in the area beforehand to contact us.”
