A MAN has died after his car veered onto the pavement and smashed into a wall.

Police rushed to reports of a crash at around 12pm this afternoon on Guide Lane in Audenshaw, Greater Manchester.

Officers believe that the driver of a Kia Rio suffered a medical episode behind the wheel, causing him to lose control.

The car then mounted the pavement and crashed into a brick wall surrounding a business property, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

The driver of the Rio, a man in his 80s, tragically died on the way to hospital.

Photos from the scene show a white Kia hatchback sitting on a pavement.

Its front passenger side corner is crumpled against a brick pillar.

The Manchester force’s serious collision investigation unit is now appealing for help following the fatal crash in Tameside.

Officers have launched an investigation, and are asking for anyone with information to come forward.

This includes anyone who witnessed the incident, or has CCTV, dashcam, or doorbell footage from the area.

You can contact police via 101 or their Live Chat service at gmp.police.uk, quoting log 1251 of 28/09/2025.
