Officers are appealing for information following a traffic collision in Stockport

Officers have released an image of a man they would like to speak in connection with serious road traffic collision in Stockport on Friday 30 December 2022.

At around 11.15pm, we received reports of a serious road traffic collision involving one vehicle on the Didsbury Road/Mauldeth Road junction in Heaton Mersey, Stockport.

Enquiries suggested that a black Volkswagen Sharan was being driven southbound on Mauldeth Road heading to the junction with Didsbury Road.

The vehicle failed to turn left or right onto Didsbury Road and continued straight forward, left the carriageway, and collided with a tree.

Emergency services attended the scene and three occupants of the vehicle sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries.

PC Thomas Jonson from GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “We are doing all we can to try and establish the full extent of this incident and speaking with this man, we think, will help our investigation significantly.

“This incident happened on a busy stretch of road and any information that we receive could be vital, so no matter how big or small.

“If you have any information, CCTV or doorbell footage, mobile footage, dash cam or cycle footage from around the times of these incidents or of the male pictured, please do get in touch with GMP.”

Anyone with any please contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting reference number of 3170 of 30/12/2022.
