Man fights for life after crash
4/ 8/2008
A 19-YEAR-old man is in a critical condition in hospital after he was in collision with a van over the weekend.
Police were called to Edinburgh Way near to its junction with Manchester Road shortly after 5.40pm on Saturday.
Officers attended and discovered a 19-year-old pedestrian had been involved in a collision with a Ford Connect van.
I agree with the previous comments, the crossing at that junction only belongs in Whacky Races. I hope the gentleman in question fully recovers and sues the idiots who designed this outrageous mistake of a junction

I cant believe its happened already, but i suppose it was only a matter of time. Do people not find it daft that that roundabout has been converted into the worst planned junction in the area. Fair enough the lights are bad enough, no straight lanes and the junction can be confusing, but to put pedestrian crosses on corner bends is so stupid. I know i'd feel intimidated going in the subway at night, and i have, but at least the subways were out of the way of traffic, and traffic was not stopped when pedestrians wanted to cross. They should have left the subways on the edges of the junction, but that is how Rochdale council works, politically correct blindedness instead of listening to their common sense...

Got an opinion you want to share?
Trafic coming from Manchester road up Endinbourogh cant see the pedestria crossing until you are on it. These planners with their real traffic simulations cant account for bad drivers. here we have bad drivers with bad planners which has mixed and manufactured a very dangerous cocktail. More will get injured and some will die. I wish the young man a speedy recovery
