Metrolink line blocked after crash between tram and car

Metrolink services were temporarily blocked on the Ashton line last night (Friday) after a car collided with a tram in Audenshaw.

Three fire engines, along with a Technical Response Unit, were called to attend the collision near the tram lines on Droylsden Road shortly after 5pm on Friday (June 24). Crews from Greater Manchester Police and North West Ambulance Service were also in attendance.

A woman was treated at the scene but did not require hospital treatment. As a result of the crash, Metrolink services on the Ashton line were reduced for close to an hour whilst firefighters cleared the scene.
