A child is in a life-threatening condition after being hit by a tram while biking through Greater Manchester.
The boy, 10, was raced to hospital with a serious head injury after the horrific incident in Tameside.
Paramedics rushed to the scene on Droylsden Road in Audenshaw at around 7.30pm on Wednesday.
Pictures showed the tram surrounded by emergency workers and a cordon as the area was shut off.
An investigation has been launched and no arrests have been made.
Police Sergeant Andrew Page of GMP’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: ‘Our thoughts are currently with the young boy who remains in hospital receiving urgent medical attention.
‘Our main priority at this stage is establishing the full circumstances surrounding this collision so we can provide his family with the answers they need.
‘This collision occurred early evening on a relatively busy road so we’re confident there are people who may have witnessed the collision or be holding information or footage that could greatly assist our enquiries.
‘We would urge anyone who thinks they be able to assist to get in touch as a matter of urgency.’
