Dramatic footage appears to show a driver going through a red light and crashing into a passing car on a main road in Oldham.

On Monday, a crash involving a number of cars took place in the Westwood area of Oldham on Featherstall Road and Middleton Road.

Dashcam footage taken by another driver shows a line of cars were driving through a green light on Featherstall Road South when a red car, coming from Middleton Road, suddenly crashed into the side of a white Audi at the junction.

The shocking video appears to show the driver of the red car had gone through a red light before it collided with passing traffic.

As a result of the impact, it seems the white Audi jolts and crashed into another vehicle that was indicating to turn right up Middleton Road at the time.

The footage suggests around three or four vehicles were affected by the crash as there were a number of bangs in quick succession while drivers sounded their horns.

A second video captured by a pedestrian in the aftermath of the crash shows a police car at the scene which closed the road.

Debris from the crash was seen scattered across the street while two men appeared to be seen exchanging details.

The white Audi in particular suffered major damage to both sides.

Photographs show its passenger side door, where the red car had crashed into it, was severely dented.

Meanwhile, its front light on the righthand side was hanging off.

The footage shows the red car was also crumpled with most of the damage concentrated at its front and driver's side.

While the footage shows Greater Manchester Police were in attendance, the force said it will not be issuing a statement at this time.
