Three people injured after two-car crash in Oldham

The collision closed Drury Lane for some time

Fire crews were required to cut one of those injured out of their car although it’s not yet known the extent of their injuries.

The air ambulance also landed at the scene.

In all two fire engines were required to deal with the incident along with North West Ambulance and Greater Manchester Police.
