AN ambulance service worker has been taken to hospital after a response vehicle was involved in a collision while responding to an emergency. The A56 Bury New Road outbound had been fully closed since 4.20pm between Valley Park Road Tesco to Junction 17 on the M60 and has only just reopened. The driver of the response vehicle was sent to hospital for treatment of minor injuries - as well as the two occupants of the other vehicle. There was congestion on the A6044 Hilton Lane and long queues on the A665 Bury Old Road and the A6044 past Heaton Park as people divert the accident.
