Two Crashes in Oldham, No Serious Injuries

0:00On April 18th, emergency crews rushed to Lee's new road in Oldham last Friday evening, April 17th, after an eight-year-old boy got struck by a car. Police and paramedics showed up before 9 p.m. with multiple ambulances and greater Manchester Police vehicles lighting up the busy street. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the boy's injuries aren't serious and no one's been arrested in connection with it. This hit came just hours after another scary crash in the same area. Earlier that day, on Oak Road and Limeside, emergency services responded to a wrecked gray Renault Clio. A 17-year-old driver got nabbed on suspicion of dangerous driving. The victim from that smash went to the hospital for checks but got discharged later. No major harm there either. Folks and older are talking about how these back-to-back incidents shook up the community. Road safety is always a hot topic around these parts, especially with kids involved, so stay vigilant out there as investigations wrap up.
