Murder hunt after man dies in hit and run outside club

A man in his 30s has died after being struck in a hit and run which injured several people, police said.

The victims were hit by a black Audi A4 outside the Salisbury Club, in Brinnington, Stockport, Greater Manchester, at around 10.45pm on Sunday.

Detectives have launched a murder investigation and are hunting for the driver, who abandoned his vehicle and fled on foot, Greater Manchester Police said.

Officers later found the Audi on the M60 motorway and believe that the driver climbed a nearby fence before running away.

Det Insp Kris Williams said: “My thoughts go out to the man’s family who sadly have to deal with the tragic news that their loved one has died.

“We’ve already spoken to a number of witnesses in the area and will continue to do so to build a fuller picture of what has exactly happened but from what we know so far, we believe the driver of the car scaled the fence next to the M60 and ran away.”
