One mum, who has lived on Moss Lane East for a number of years, was disturbed by the noise on Monday night and immediately looked outside her window to see the two damaged cars, including the BMW, that had smashed into a metal barrier.

"It's so dangerous here," she said. "I've seen three crashes myself, it's just inevitable. I heard this huge bang and I knew straight away it would be another crash."

Greater Manchester Police attended the scene along with fire crews and paramedics, with the road cordoned off between Broadfield Road and Monton Street overnight and into the morning.

The woman, aged 25, was taken
