Police have appealed for help after a cyclist was killed in a crash.
The fatal collision occurred on August 30 at 9.30pm on Wellington Road, in Ashton-Under-Lyne. Police were called following reports a black Mercedes had crashed into a female cyclist. Paramedics at the scene blocked off the road.
The woman was taken to Manchester Royal Infirmary where she later died.
Greater Manchester Police are investigating but so far have made no arrests and say the driver of the Mercedes "is helping them with their enquiries". They are urging anyone with information or dash-cam footage to come forward.
