Police closed off a road in Sholver on Wednesday evening (February 8) amid reports of a woman being under a car.
Emergency services attended the scene on Sholver Lane, near Oldham, and blocked off the road following the incident. Witnesses reported seeing 'around 30' people stood around a vehicle on Wednesday.
The fire service, paramedics from the North West Ambulance Service and police were at the scene for a number of hours, before house to house enquiries were carried out nearby.
Detectives were seen within the cordon, which stretched from Hillside Close to Ashdene Rise. Officers were also photographing the scene. It is understood a woman had become trapped underneath a vehicle.
One resident told the Manchester Evening News: "I just saw a load of blue lights and heard all the sirens. I couldn't see much from my upstairs window but there were definitely around 30 people all stood around a car at the side of the road."
Other people living nearby said they had seen a person who appeared to be underneath a vehicle, with the road remaining closed for a number of hours until around 9pm.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said: "Just after 6pm this evening firefighters from Hollins and Oldham fire stations, and the Technical Response Unit from Ashton fire station rescued a woman who was trapped under a vehicle on Hillside Close in Oldham.
"Police officers, Ambulance crew, and firefighters worked together to save the woman who has now been taken to hospital."
