Whilst the incident was ongoing, a spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: "We were called at around 6.30am to reports of a vehicle that has hit the railings and overturned.

"There are no injuries, but because the vehicle is in the middle of the road it is causing some obstruction.

"Fire are also at the scene."
