One person was taken to hospital and three other 'walking wounded' were treated by paramedics following a crash between an Audi and a taxi in Stockport.

Police, paramedics and firefighters were called to the scene following the smash at the junction of Kingsway and Gatley Road in Cheadle at about 9.25pm on Sunday.

Pictures show the badly damaged Audi in among a group of trees having apparently knocked down a control box for the nearby traffic lights.

A silver Mercedes taxi could be seen at the crossroads and debris was scattered across the dual carriageway.

The driver of the black Audi said: "The taxi hit my car, I don't know how I ended up where I did."

The busy crossroads was closed for a time following the crash.

A spokesperson for North west Ambulance Service said: "We were called at about 9.25pm to a two vehicle road traffic collision.

"We sent three ambulances and an advanced pararmedic.

"One person was taken to hospital, but three walking wounded were also treated by paramedics."

The nature of the injuries suffered by the person taken to hospital is not clear, but they are not thought to be serious.

Greater Manchester Police has been contacted for a comment.
