A woman in her 70s is in critical condition after being struck by a car in Oldham on Sunday, March 10th, 2025.
Greater Manchester Police’s (GMP) Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) is appealing for witnesses to the incident.
Officers were called to Manchester Street at approximately 10:50 am following reports of a collision between a brown Vauxhall Corsa and a pedestrian.

The elderly woman sustained serious injuries and was immediately transported to the hospital, where she remains in a critical condition.
The driver of the Vauxhall Corsa, a 24-year-old woman, stopped at the scene.
She was subsequently arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving, interviewed, and later released on bail.

“We are appealing for anyone who may have seen this collision, or who has any dashcam or doorbell footage, to please get in touch,” said a spokesperson for the SCIU.
