A person had to be cut out of their vehicle last night after being involved in a crash in Edenfield Road, Rochdale.

They reportedly lost control of the vehicle due to high speed and reports say they went through a fence and into a field.

The vehicle also took out a speed camera which was seen scattered in the field.

Emergency services were called where the person had to be cut out of the vehicle.

The person suffered a head injury and was taken to hospital by Northwest Ambulance Service.

A Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service spokesperson said: “Shortly after 11pm on Friday 17 March, firefighters were called out to a road traffic collision on Edenfield Road, Rochdale.

“Two fire engines from Rochdale and Ramsbottom – and a Technical Response Unit from Ashton-under-Lyne - attended the scene where a car had collided with a speed camera and was overturned in a field.

“Crews used cutting equipment to free one casualty, who had suffered a head injury, from the vehicle who was then conveyed to hospital by North West Ambulance Service.
