Man confirmed dead as police probe into early morning collision continues
A man has been confirmed dead as police continue investigations into a Wigan road incident.
Multiple police vehicles blocked access to Pembroke Road, in Marsh Green, at around 6am on the morning of Thursday January 9 and a large tent was placed in the road.
Ambulance service and police were called there after a crash.
There are unconfirmed reports locally that a man in his 30s may have collapsed into the street, have been there for some time as snow fell and that a vehicle then struck him.
But it has been confirmed by a police source to Wigan Today that the incident does involve a fatality.
An investigation is under way and several police officers have been working in the area all day.
Kitt Green Road was closed to traffic for a period following the incident and buses were diverted, but it later reopened.
Both Greater Manchester Police and North West Ambulance Service have been contacted for further information.
