Police are appealing for witnesses after an 18-year-old man sustained fatal injuries when he fell from the bonnet of a moving car.

Greater Manchester police said another 18-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

A police patrol found a man with unexplained severe injuries in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, at around 5am on Saturday morning.

He was in a critical condition, police said, and “despite the best efforts of emergency services, he tragically passed away at the scene as a result of his injuries”.

Inquiries later revealed that the man had climbed on to the bonnet of a grey Ford Ka which was then driven across a road junction.

He fell from the bonnet and sustained fatal injuries and the driver did not remain at the scene, police said.

A spokesperson for GMP said investigating officers were appealing to anyone who has any information that could assist the investigation to get in touch.

Police are keen to hear from anyone who may have relevant footage, including CCTV, mobile or dashcam.

People can make a report by calling 0161-856 4741 quoting log 627 of 12/08/2023 or via the LiveChat function on GMP’s website. Alternatively people can call the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555 111.
