He was injured in the collision and taken to hospital for treatment, though his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.

Golborne Road was closed between Wotton Drive and Edge Green Lane for nearly two hours, with buses being diverted.

Traffic problems in the area were exacerbated by the closure of the M6 at junction 24 after an earlier crash involving two cars.
