Woman hurt in Road Traffic Incident on Turf Hill Road

Date published: 25 July 2009


A woman was taken by ambulance to Rochdale Infirmary this afternoon, Saturday 25 July, after her car was hit by a car that had "lost control" attempting to take the bend at the Turf Hill Road/Kingsway junction "far too fast".

The woman, driving a gold Ford Fiesta, is, according to police at the scene, suffering only minor injuries but has been taken to hospital as a precaution.

A witness described the driver of a red Fiat Punto as a "young inexperienced male driver", apparently in his first year of driving, taking the bend from Kingsway to Turf Hill Road, "far too fast,  losing control, and as a result crossing the centre line and colliding with the Ford Fiesta".
