Police are appealing for witnesses to a horror crash in Rochdale to come forward, after a man has been left fighting for his life.

The two vehicles collided in Milnrow on Sunday evening, on Wildhouse Lane.

It’s thought that a Nissan Micra travelling northbound collided with a BMW One Series that was heading in the opposite direction.

The BMW driver and passenger sustained minor injuries in the head-on crash, but the driver of the Nissan remains in a life-threatening condition in hospital.

Police are now investigating the horror smash and looking for dashcam footage and eye witnesses.

Anyone who saw anything from the incident at around 7.45pm on Sunday 3 March, or anything from the moments leading up to the collision, should contact GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU).

If anyone has footage, like dashcam, CCTV or mobile phone footage, police would also like to speak to them.

You can contact police on 0161 856 4741, quoting log number 2757 of 03/03/2024, or using the ‘tell us about’ tool or LiveChat function on GMP’s website.

Alternatively, you can contact the independent charity – Crimestoppers – anonymously on 0800 555 111.
