Footage which shows a van colliding with a tram after running a red light in Trafford has been released to highlight the point.

The video - filmed from the cab of a Metrolink tram - shows the vehicle moving along the tracks away from the Parkway tram stop, in Stretford, when a van suddenly moves across its path.

Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) say services had to be suspended on part of the network following the smash, on Tuesday (May 4).
