Police appeal for information following the death of a pedestrian in Hulme

Police were called just after 6pm last night (Thursday 6 January 2022) to Chorlton Road in Hulme, to reports a pedestrian had been hit by a car.

Emergency services attended, and found a 48-year-old man had been involved with a collision with one car, then been hit by a second coming from the opposite direction.

Sadly, despite the best efforts of emergency teams, he died at the scene.

Both vehicles stopped at the scene, no arrests have been made, and both drivers are assisting officers with their ongoing enquiries.
