Police appeal for information following a fatal collision in Oldham

At 11:41pm last night (Sunday 2 June) we were called to reports of a road traffic collision on Greenacres Road in Oldham, between three cars.

It’s believed that a car collided into two stationary cars, causing it to overturn. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, a man in his 20s was tragically pronounced dead at the scene.

Two men, also in their 20s, have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. They remain in police custody for questioning.

Detective Constable Alex Giblin from our Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “This is a tragic incident where a young man has lost his life, and our thoughts remain with his family and loved ones. They will be supported by specially trained officers at this distressing time.

"We are working tirelessly to get answers for them, but I urge anyone who has any information, or who may have witnessed the incident to please come forward and help with our enquiries.

“This could be an eyewitness account from the scene, doorbell footage, CCTV or dashcam footage. It can all be used to help us establish how a young man lost his life in such distressing circumstances.
