"We sent a rapid response ambulance and an ambulance to the scene.

"We treated four patients at the scene, one a teenage male. Of the four patients, two patients with minor injuries were taken to Royal Oldham Hospital."

Speaking of the aftermath of the crash earlier today, a nearby resident who wished to remain anoymous, said: "I live in Denshaw but didn’t witness the accident. I heard all the sirens.

"Fire crews are still trying to remove the truck and wagon from the wall. One other vehicle has just been removed. This could take a while."

While Greater Manchester Police's Saddleworth and Lees Neighbourhood Policing Team warned residents to "avoid the area as delays are to be expected".
