Two Die In Stolen Car Collision

Two men have died after the car they were travelling in was involved in a collision.

Police attended the scene on Alderdale Road in Cheadle Hulme, Stockport, just before 1am on Friday following reports that the Vauxhall Astra had lost control and overturned, landing in a front garden of a house.

Paramedics attended, but the driver and passenger were both pronounced dead at the scene.

Eyewitness accounts stated that the car driver lost control as it came to the junction of Councillor Lane.

It is believed that the victims are two local men, both aged 20.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the car was reported stolen from outside a house on Radnormere Drive earlier last night.

An investigation into the exact circumstances of the collision will continue.

At this stage it is not believed that any other vehicle was involved.

No one else was injured in the collision.
