Officers investigating a fatal collision in Brierfield have made a third arrest.
We were called to Colne Road, at 8.31pm on Sunday (31st March) following reports a BMW M5 had struck a pedestrian and then collided with a wall, close to a bus stop.
Emergency services attended and found a man in his 50s unresponsive. Despite the best efforts of the emergency services, he was sadly later pronounced deceased at the scene.
Yesterday we arrested a 34-year-old man, from Brierfield, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
As reported previously, a 28-year-old man from Brierfield and a 40-year-old man from Manchester were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.
All three men have since been released on bail pending further enquiries.
