A main road was closed off after a two-car crash, which saw one car overturn and flip on its roof.
The incident took place on Church Street West in Radcliffe, close to its junction with Barlow Street.
The crash, which is believed to have taken place at around 10am, was between a white Kia Sportage and a blue Mercedes B-Class.
The road was closed off by police following the crash while recovery took place, but no injuries were reported.
As of 11.30am, the road had reopened.
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police told us: “It is a two-car-RTC with one of the vehicles flipping and ending up on its roof. The road is blocked whilst recovery takes place. No injuries reported.”

The force also suggested the car, which was flipped on its roof, may have hit a parked car, and an image from the scene shows damage to a blue Mercedes.
One eyewitness said that the crash took place at around 10.15am, saying they saw a white Kia Sportage on its roof in the middle of the street.
Another added: “A car was upside down, police were on scene. It looks like they hit a car and then flipped over.”
One other witness said they heard a big bang before seeing the car on its roof, at around 10am.
