- A 41-year-old woman has been arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing serious injury by carless driving. 

At around 10.10pm last night (Tuesday 23 April 2024), we were called to reports of a road traffic collision on Old Chapel Street near to the junction of St Matthews Road in Edgeley, Stockport, between a pedestrian and a car.

It has been established that a Kia Ceed was travelling south along St Matthews Road and was intending to turn right onto Old Chapel Street.
