A person was rushed to hospital in a 'serious condition' after a crash in Stockport.

Emergency services including police officers, firefighters and paramedics descended on Osborne Street, in Bredbury, after the two-vehicle smash at around 5.20pm yesterday (June 10). An air ambulance also landed on an nearby field as it responded to the crash.

One person was rushed to hospital from the scene. A spokesperson for the North West Ambulance Service today confirmed they were in a 'serious condition'.

No further details about the person have been released at this stage. A huge cordon was put in place on Osborne Street as emergency crews responded into the evening last night.

Residents blasted the way drivers use the residential street as a 'cut through' and 'rat run'. One 51-year-old local man said he returned from holiday today to find police swarming the street he has lived on for 23 years.

“It’s dreadful, absolutely dreadful. There’s been nothing to this extent," he said.

His neighbour said: “There’s a lot of cut-throughs. It’s a rat run.”

An air ambulance was seen leaving the scene just after 7.15pm having landed in Daisyfield Recreation Ground, known locally as The Daisy.

A spokesperson for the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said in a statement: "At just after 5.20pm this evening (Monday 10 June), fire crews were called to reports of a road traffic collision on Osborne Street, Stockport. One fire engine from Whitehill quickly attended the incident which involved two vehicles.
