A man is fighting for his life in hospital after a 'head-on' crash between two cars in Rochdale.
Police, paramedics and fire crews raced to the scene of the smash on Wildhouse Lane, close to Hollingworth Lake, at around 7.45pm last night (Sunday). Police said a Nissan Micra, which was travelling northbound on the road, collided with a BMW One Series heading in the opposite direction.
The Nissan driver - a male - was rushed to hospital from the scene. He remains there in a life-threatening condition, a Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said.

The driver and a passenger in the BMW suffered minor injuries. The fire service initially said last night that one of the drivers was a woman, but a police spokesperson this morning (Monday) confirmed both drivers were male.
After the crash last night, the main road was blocked off from Smithy Bridge Road to Branch Road as investigations were carried out. Pictures taken from the scene showed both cars with crushed front bumpers as police tape was used to cordon off the main road.
Officers from GMP's Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) are now appealing for any witnesses to come forward. They also want to hear from anyone who has dash cam, CCTV or mobile footage from the area in the lead-up to the crash.
