A CRASH caused rush hour chaos for commuters last night as police blocked the north-bound section of St Peter's Way.
A Nissan saloon lost control and crashed into a lamp post in the central reservation near the Raikes Lane turn-off at about 4.30pm yesterday. The driver, who has not been named by police, had to be cut free from the car. His legs were trapped and he was taken to hospital with a fractured ankle.
The lamp post was badly damaged and police closed the road as a precaution until workmen made it safe.
One lane was opened by about 5.30pm and the road was completely clear by about 7pm.
No other vehicle was involved in the crash. Witnesses should call police on 0161 872 5050.
