A police officer had to be cut from his car after a collision on St Mary’s Gate last night (Wednesday 30 March).

The driver of a silver Seat lost control, crossed the central reservation and spun into the police car which was driving in the opposite direction.

Crews from Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service attended the scene at 11.00pm and cut through the car to free the officer, who was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

The driver of the Seat is not thought to have been injured.

No arrests have been made, although Greater Manchester Police has confirmed that investigations continue.
