Cheshire Police have shared an update following a crash in Macclesfield.

A DPD van driver was arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving, drug driving and possession of a knife following a crash on Coare Street on Tuesday morning, September 8.

The 24-year-old man from Shelton has now been bailed until December 3, 2026, police have confirmed.
