The driver - an elderly woman - had to be cut from the vehicle by firefighters using hydraulic equipment, a spokesman for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said.

She was taken to hospital having been stuck in the car for around 15 minutes.

The attending fire crew said she is not thought to have suffered serious injury but was understandably shaken by the ordeal.

The busy junction at Marus Bridge was converted from a roundabout last year.
