DRIVERS were injured when two cars collided head-on in Darcy Lever.

The smash happened in Radcliffe Road on Tuesday between a black Vauxhall Astra and a silver hatchback, both of which sustained extensive damage to the front.

It happened at 5.20pm and police including Traffic PCSO Gareth Walker were on hand to direct traffic and help clear the road.
