A CAR overturned on the Oldham bypass following a collision with a HGV yesterday evening.

Oldham Way was closed for several hours as emergency services dealt with the accident, which involved a blue Toyota Yaris and an HGV, shortly before 7pm.

Paramedics are pictured at the scene treating a nine-year-old boy, a passenger in the Toyota who suffered minor injuries. They also treated the female driver of the Yaris for a neck injury. The HGV driver was unhurt.
