A MAN, 18, has been arrested over the death of another 18-year-old who "climbed onto the bonnet of his car before falling off".
At around 5am Saturday morning, police officers out on patrol found a man with severe injuries on Booth Road in Altrincham.
The 18-year-old was in a critical condition and despite the best efforts of emergency services, he tragically passed away at the scene as a result of his injuries.
Inquiries revealed the victim had climbed onto the bonnet of a vehicle - a grey Ford Ka - and was driven across the junction of Dunham Road onto Booth Road.
He fell from the bonnet and tragically sustained fatal injuries.
The driver of the vehicle did not remain at the scene.
Police have now closed part of Dunham road, Booth Road, and Regent Road for an ongoing investigation.
And officers are now appealing to anyone who has any information that could assist the investigation to get in touch.
