One person was rescued from their car after a two-car crash at a crossroads outside Altrincham town centre.

The two-car crash was at the crossroads of Barrington Road and Woodlands Road before midday on Monday.

All of the emergency services were in attendance and a spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said one person was rescued from their car by firefighters from Sale Fire Station and Stretford Fire Station as well as Ashton-under-Lyne.
