Police were attempting to stop a Honda motorbike in Hindley Green, Wigan.

The rider failed to pull over and sped around a left hand bend on Leigh Road before colliding with a Vauxhall Corsa coming the other way, police said.

The 21-year-old rider from Leigh suffered a broken ankle and his 13-year-old pillion passenger suffered a suspected broken leg.

Both rider and passenger were taken to Wigan Royal Infirmary for treatment and are expected to be questioned on Saturday.

Nobody else was injured and Greater Manchester Police are appealing for witnesses.
