We're appealing for information after a serious collision in Bury last night has left a man fighting for his life in hospital.
At around 9.05pm on Sunday 12 September, police were called to a report of a collision involving a Vauxhall Corsa on Bolton Road (A676) in the Hawkshaw area.
It's understood that the Vauxhall was travelling westbound in the direction of Turton when it collided with a parked car on the passenger's side and proceeded to travel towards a crossing carriageway on the driver's side where the vehicle came to a stop.
The passenger in the Vauxhall - a 37-year-old man - was taken to hospital with life-threatening head injuries and remains there in a critical condition.
A 26-year-old woman has been arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving and drink driving. She remains in custody for questioning.
Enquiries are ongoing and anyone with information or dash cam footage is asked to contact our Serious Collision Investigation Unit on 0161 856 4741 quoting incident number 3018 of 12/09/2021.
