Man killed by pursued driver

    A man has died after a car that was being pursued by police crashed into him in Denton.

    Greater Manchester Police said the man is thought to be in his 60s and was a taxi driver.

    Officers attempted to stop a white Vauxhall Mokka after their suspicions were raised on Tuesday 31 July.

    The car failed to stop for officers and, during a short pursuit, it collided with several other vehicles, including a taxi and a man who was stood next to it.

    The man received emergency treatment at the scene but sadly died as a result of his injuries.

    A 37-year-old woman and a 39-year-old man were arrested in the Vauxhall Mokka but a second man fled the scene.
