Two people were cut free from a car and taken to hospital after a collision on Whitehall Street in Rochdale on Thursday (11 July).

Fire crews used cutting equipment to rescue the couple before making the car safe.

They were then taken to the Royal Oldham Hospital, with one reporting back pain.

A spokesperson for the fire service said: “We were called to a two-car RTC at 3.04pm.

“One person had self-rescued and got out of the car themselves, but two people were trapped in the other.”
