A man has been arrested after a woman died in a two-car crash.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the woman's Nissan collided with a Mercedes which was "travelling on the opposing carriageway" on St Helens Road in Bolton at 19:00 GMT on Saturday.

GMP added that the woman, in her 60s, died "from her injuries" while the Nissan driver suffered serious injuries. The Mercedes driver also needed hospital treatment.

The force said a man in his 30s has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

Det Con Aarron Cramer said: "This is a tragic incident where someone has lost their life and we are supporting the families of those involved at this sad time."

Officers have appealed for any CCTV, dashcam or mobile phone footage.

Chinese carmakers have already seized more than half of Russia's car market since Western competitors pulled out, taking their technology and know-how with them, after Moscow sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022. Governments in Europe and the United States are growing increasingly wary of Chinese dominance in the EV sector but Russia, rather than imposing tariffs, is embracing Chinese brands across all automobile sectors to prop up its car industry.
