The driver of the car, a man in his 30s, was tragically pronounced dead at the scene. His next of kin have been informed.

Brinksway was closed for a number of hours overnight before reopening shortly after 7.30am on Sunday morning, as crash investigators carried out their enquires.

Enquiries into the circumstances of the crash remain ongoing as police appeal for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to come forward.

Sergeant Matthew Waggett, of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: "Enquiries are ongoing and, as such, I ask anyone with information or dash cam footage showing an Audi A3 in the area surrounding Brinksway in the lead up to the collision to pass it on."

Anyone with information should contact investigators via 0161 856 4741 quoting 249 05/06/22. Information can also be shared anonymously via the independent charity – Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
