A man and a woman have been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a pedestrian was killed and another seriously injured in a horror crash in Oldham.
The 59-year-old man was knocked down while waiting to cross the street on Park Road in Oldham on Saturday afternoon. Two drivers – a 32-year-old man and a 36-year-old woman - were arrested and remain in custody for questioning.
