Some sad news from last nights match
Youths flee as car kills soccer fan
YOUTHS who fled from a car that killed a football fan at Salford Quays last night are being hunted by police.
Police are treating the death as suspicious and are appealing for witnesses to the incident, which happened at St Lawrence Quay at 10.30.
The victim - a 46-year-old man - was walking along the quay after the Manchester United Champions League qualifying game against Zalaegerszeg at Old Trafford when he was struck by a Ford Mondeo.
The man went under the car because of the force of the impact and was trapped beneath the wheels.
As the car came to a halt a number of youths leaped from it and fled before anyone could try to stop them. Horrified passers-by, who saw the incident, dialled 999.
An ambulance and fire crews were sent to the scene.
The fire brigade spent half an hour freeing the man from under the car while paramedics battled in vain to keep him alive. A post mortem examination is to be carried out. The man's identity has not yet been released.
Police are appealing for anyone who saw the incident or who knows anything about the youths or the car to telephone them on 0161-872- 5050.
