A 95-year-old man was left with a broken rib and punctured lung after he was hit by a car in Stockport.

The pensioner was struck by a red BMW Mini when he crossed the road on Bramhall Lane South in Bramhall at about 12pm on Saturday.

He was taken to hospital where he is still being treated for his injuries. He suffered a broken rib, punctured lung and bruising.

The woman driving the car was not injured in the crash, which happened just after the mini roundabout at the junction with Woodford Road.
