Police are trying to trace a man who was hit by a bus in Tameside this morning. The pedestrian was involved in a collision with a bus on Dukinfield Road in Hyde at around 5:30am on Saturday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

However, when officers attended the scene, near the junction with Old Dairy Mews, the man had left.

Officers say he is "likely to have received significant injuries" from the crash and that they are concerned for his welfare.

In an appeal on their Facebook page, GMP's Tameside North and East neighbourhood policing team said they "would like to speak to the man to make sure he is ok."

They are asking the man himself, or anyone who may have information about his identity, to come forward.

He is described as being in his thirties of thin build and around 5ft 10ins tall with medium-length dark hair. He was wearing a dark-coloured top and shorts at the time of the incident.

"If this is you, or if anyone has any information please contact Police on 101, quoting log number 659 of the 2nd July 2022," GMP said.
