Greater Manchester Police says it was called out to a collision involving a car and a pedestrian on Dale Street, in the Northern Quarter, at 3.45pm on Wednesday afternoon (April 16).

Officers attended the scene alongside paramedics from North West Ambulance Service (NWAS).

The pedestrian, a 29-year-old woman, was taken to hospital for treatment following the collision.

An air ambulance was seen landing in the middle of Piccadilly Gardens following the collision yesterday.
