A 35-year-old man from Chadderton will appear in court next month charged with causing death by dangerous driving, after a 25-year-old man died in hospital from serious injuries sustained in a collision. 

Police were called to Mount Road in Gorton at around 11.30pm on Monday (5 December), when it's believed two cars travelling northbound crashed at the junction of Balmoral Street. 

A black Vauxhall Insignia with two people inside is then understood to have attempted a manoeuvre when it was struck on its offside by a silver Vauxhall Crossland with a black roof.

All three people involved in the collision were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries. 

The passenger of the Vauxhall Insignia - a 25-year-old man - suffered serious injuries and died on Thursday (8 December). 

The driver of the Vauxhall Insignia - a 30-year-old woman - also sustained serious injuries.

The driver of the Vauxhall Crossland - a 35-year-old man - suffered minor injuries. Greater Manchester Police say he was arrested at the scene immediately, then subsequently charged and remanded into custody.
