A murder investigation has been launched after a man died and several others were injured in a collision outside a nightclub in Stockport.
Police were called to The Salisbury Club on Truro Avenue in Brinnington to reports that a car had collided with a number of people at 10.45pm yesterday.
The car - believed to be a black Audi A4 - drove off before emergency services arrived and was later found abandoned in lane two of the M60, near to Redrock.
A man, believed to be in his 30s, was taken to hospital where he sadly died.
Two other men, aged 31 and 33, both suffered minor injuries in the collision.
Enquiries into the incident and efforts to trace the driver of the car are ongoing.
Officers are not treating this as a terror related incident.
Detective Inspector Kris Williams of GMP’s Stockport Borough, said: “My thoughts go out to the man’s family who sadly have to deal with the tragic news that their loved one has died.
“We’ve already spoken to a number of witnesses in the area and will continue to do so to build a fuller picture of what has exactly happened but from what we know so far, we believe the driver of the car scaled the fence next to the M60 and ran away.
“Whatever information people have, I’d encourage them to contact us as a matter of urgency.”
