Police have appealed for details after a driver crashed into two vehicles in Bury New Road
A woman has been arrested after a passenger was fatally injured in a hit-and-run crash.
Greater Manchester Police said a silver BMW crossed on to the opposite carriageway in Bury New Road, Whitefield, before colliding with a Renault at about 06:10 GMT on Thursday.
The BMW then also crashed into a black Ford Transit van, before the car driver and front-seat passenger ran away.
Another passenger in the BMW, aged 31, was taken to hospital where he died.
Two other passengers were also taken to hospital - a 48-year-old man who has serious injuries and a man, aged 30, who was not badly hurt.
The arrested 28-year-old woman has been held on suspicion of perverting the cause of justice. She has since been released under investigation.
Police are appealing for anyone with information to contact them.
