Football fans have described scenes of 'chaos' as thousands tried to leave Old Trafford football ground at the same time as police closed a nearby road following a crash.
Officers closed off a stretch of Talbot Road, just metres away from the stadium, at around 9.30pm last night (Tuesday) after a man was knocked down by a vehicle. He was rushed to hospital from the scene with serious injuries.
As the cordon was in place and investigations were carried out, thousands of football fans poured out of Old Trafford following Manchester United's match against Bournemouth. Several have described seeing huge crowds packing into a ginnel as people avoided the road closure and and police directed people away from the scene.
