A tragic incident in Rochdale has led to the death of a woman after she was struck by a vehicle, while three others sustained minor injuries in separate collisions. The driver, a 49-year-old man, was arrested on suspicion of murder. Police have emphasized that the event is isolated and not connected to terrorism. Assistant Chief Constable John Webster reassured the community regarding ongoing safety efforts and highlighted the need for community solidarity during this distressing time. The investigation is ongoing, with roads around the incident now cleared.
All three who were injured suffered minor injuries and have since been discharged from hospital, police added.
The actions of a single person have caused significant damage to the people of Rochdale.
I also want to reassure the public that ongoing efforts are being taken to ensure the safety of people in Rochdale.
Today's arrest was not related to a counter-terrorism arrest made on Saturday evening.
