Major Oldham road closed after crash as rescue team struggle to lives

According to information released by Stagecoach, the 231 bus route uses the Heartshead Estate before travelling via Oldham Road, Lord Sheldon Way, Market Street, and Lumb Lane turning circle in both directions, while the 230 bus service is diverted through these routes in both directions.

Pictures of a car that appear to have crashed have significant front end damage, according to social media posts.

The presence of injuries from the collision has not yet been confirmed by Greater Manchester Police.

Between Taunton Place and Taunton Hall Close, the road has been blocked since approximately five in the morning.

They were unable to ascertain, though, if there was a single vehicle involved in the collision or two different vehicles.

North West Ambulance Service confirmed receiving a call at 4.45 am in response to an RTC, according to a spokeswoman.

“We are unsure whether there was one or two vehicles involved however we treated three patients, one female with a head injury – taken to Salford Royal, and two patients were taken to Tameside Hospital with injuries not believed to be major trauma.”

Police have set up a cordon along a portion of Ashton-under-Lyne’s Newmarket Road.

 

Manchester Street is a major thoroughfare that passes through Werneth and connects to Oldham Way.

Additionally, Cadent Gas is presently working on Rochdale Road; this work is scheduled to conclude on August 19.

Manchester Street is being partially closed, according to United Utilities, to protect the engineers.

According to North West Ambulance Service, they were dispatched to the scene at approximately 4:45 a.m. following reports of a car accident.

Next week, a significant Oldham road will be partially closed while United Utilities repairs the sewer.

The work is scheduled to begin on Monday, August 12 and is anticipated to take five days. The northbound carriageway of the A62 Manchester Street will be closed to traffic in a single lane.

The sewer between the intersections of Clowes Street and Drury Lane needs “essential repair work,” according to the water company.

United Utilities apologised for any inconvenience caused while the repair work was being done and stated that it is collaborating with Oldham Council to “minimise disruption.”
