A man has died after he suffered a suspected medical episode whilst behind the wheel of a Mercedes which then ploughed into a tree.
The tragedy happened in Standish, Wigan shortly after 12:30pm this afternoon (Easter Monday). Emergency services were scrambled after a Mercedes was involved in a crash on the A5209 Almond Brook Road.
The 75-year-old driver of the car was rushed to hospital but despite the best efforts of medics, was pronounced dead a short time later Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.
