Emergency services flooded a quiet street on Thursday evening (October 6) following reports of a 'serious' incident during which a person had been killed by a falling tree.
Fire crews and police, including forensics, attended the scene on Osborne Terrace, in Sale, shortly after 3.30pm on Thursday. The road backed onto the canal path, which was completely cordoned off for numerous hours, until around 8.30pm.
Door to door enquiries were made by officers after the incident, as investigators continued to assess the scene. A private ambulance also arrived just before 8pm and then left a short time later.
