Two teenagers who were hit by a car on Saturday remain in a critical condition in hospital, police have said.

The man and woman, both 18-year-old pedestrians, were injured during an incident involving three cars on Whitworth Street West, near Deansgate Locks in Manchester city centre at 22:30 BST.

Greater Manchester Police said a Toyota Yaris driver lost control before colliding with a Vauxhall Corsa, mounting the kerb and then hitting a Kia Sportage.

Police, who still want any witnesses to the crash to come forward, said a 30-year-old woman, arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by dangerous driving, had now been bailed.
