Video footage has captured the moment a police car ploughed into a metal barrier on a busy main road in Oldham. The crash sparked a huge emergency services response with the road closed for a number of hours.
Numerous cordons were erected on Ashton Road shortly after 4.30pm on Wednesday as enquiries were made at the scene. The driver of the police car suffered minor injuries to his face.
In the CCTV clip, the crash, which unravelled in just a matter of seconds, appears to show the police car driving on the right-hand side of the road, with blue lights flashing.
