An ambulance responding to a call was involved in a crash with another vehicle on Sunday afternoon (April 10). The incident happened outside the George and Dragon pub, Heaton Chapel, at around 3.30pm.
The incident involved a St John ambulance vehicle and a silver Mercedes at the crossroads junction where Manchester Road (A6188) meets School Lane (B5169). It was later confirmed that the ambulance was not carrying any patients when the crash happened, but was driving at speed on its way to an incident, with its blue emergency lights on.
An onlooker said that the smash happened as the car was turning right in the yellow box junction onto Manchester Road. Both vehicles remained at the site for quite some time, with Greater Manchester Police also in attendance. Debris filled the road as traffic was slowed down as it passed the incident.
