Emergency services scrambled to a major Tameside road following a crash involving a car and a tram. Police, fire crews and paramedics were sent out to the scene on Droylsden Road, at the border of Audenshaw and Droylsden, before 9am today (May 10).
Officers closed off part of the road while dealing with the crash, which involved a black Nissan Qashqai and a tram on the Ashton-under-Lyne Metrolink line. The Nissan driver, a woman in her 30s, was taken to hospital by ambulance after being 'freed' from the car.
No trams were able to run between the Ashton and Velopark stops for more than an hour following the smash. A GMFRS spokesperson said: “At 9am on Wednesday, May 10, firefighters were called out to a road traffic collision involving a tram and a car on Droylsden Road, Audenshaw.
