Teenager killed after car loses control and crashes into building | UK News

A 19-year–old man has died after a car lost control while trying to overtake and smashed into a building.

The teenager was a passenger in the car when it was involved in a crash in Rochdale at around 7.20pm yesterday.

It was travelling along Spotland Road towards Spotland when the driver attempted to go past a slower moving vehicle but veered off the road, police said. 

Emergency services rushed to the scene after all three people in the car suffered injuries and they were rushed to hospital for treatment.

But despite the best efforts of paramedics and doctors, one of them died in the early hours of this morning. 

Greater Manchester Police is now appealing for witnesses to the crash to come forward.
