A man was arrested after two cars were involved in a crash in Tameside. It happened on Fairfield Road in Droylsden at around 8pm last night (Saturday).

The road was closed as police dealt with the aftermath. Pictures from the scene showed two badly damaged cars inside the cordon and wreckage strewn across the road.

A number of local bus services were diverted during the closure. Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have now confirmed the driver of the one of the cars was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving.

A spokesperson for the force said: "The report of the collision came in around 8pm yesterday evening (7 December). A vehicle collided with a car. The driver was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving without insurance."
