Shortly after 3 am on Sunday 15 December 2019, police were called to Blackburn Road, Egerton to reports of a collision involving one car – a black Audi.
Emergency services attended and four men were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Despite best efforts from paramedics, a 35-year-old man was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.
Three men, two aged 23 and one aged 21, have been treated for serious injuries. They remain in hospital.
Enquiries are ongoing.
PC Nick Corlett of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This is a tragic incident which has sadly left one man dead and three others injured. Our thoughts are with the man’s family and we have specialist officers with them supporting them through this extremely difficult time.
“I would like to make a direct plea to anyone who may have seen anything that could assist our enquiries. We’re particularly keen to speak to any witnesses with dash cam footage who saw the Audi in the lead up to the collision. If you have any information please get in touch.”
