Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage after a 37-year-old pedestrian was killed in a collision with a car in Oldham.

Police say they arrested a 20-year-old man a short time later in connection with the tragedy.

Greater Manchester Police were called at around 11.30pm on Saturday to Oldham Road, Oldham.

Emergency services attended the scene but despite the best attempts of officers and paramedics the pedestrian, a 37-year-old man, was sadly pronounced dead a short time later after suffering fatal injuries. Specialist officers are supporting his family.

GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are now appealing for anyone who may have seen the collision to get in touch to help their investigation.

Officers are particularly keen to speak to anyone who may have footage, including dashcam, mobile phone or CCTV/doorbell footage from the area in the moments before the collision took place.

Anyone with information should contact police on 0161 856 4741 quoting incident 3646 of 15/10/22.

Alternatively, details can be passed via the police LiveChat function at www.gmp.police.uk or anonymously via the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
