A luxury Porsche was left crushed under a van after a collision in Manchester city centre.

The crash took place on Fairfield Street, near Piccadilly Station, shortly after 8am on Friday morning.

Officers were called to the scene and discovered the Barbakan Deli van almost perched aloft the red Porsche Cayman, with its wheels high in the air.

Fire crews and paramedics were also deployed to the scene after reports that someone was trapped inside the sports car.

Police said the driver of one of the vehicles suffered back injuries during the collision, but no-one was seriously hurt.
