A man is in a critical condition in hospital after a loud bang 'shook' a number of houses on a street before a car went up in flames.
Police were called to the incident in Milnrow this morning where they found a vehicle fire and an injured man. He was taken to hospital and officers say he is in a critical but stable condition.
Eyewitnesses say a vehicle exploded in Rochdale at around 10am with dramatic photos showing what remains of the burnt out car.
