PREMIER League footballer Courtney Meppen-Walter, who is believed to have been born in Bury, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after two people died in a collision last night, sources confirmed today.
The 18-year-old Manchester City player was arrested after a silver Mercedes and a red Nissan Micra collided in north Manchester, leaving a 32-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman dead and two teenagers, believed to be 15 and 16, with serious head injuries.
It is believed that Meppen-Walter was driving the Mercedes. The crash happened at about 10.15pm on Saturday in Bury New Road, close to its junction with Sherborne Street in Manchester.
The 32-year-old man was driving the Micra with the 37-year-old woman in the front passenger seat and the two teenagers in the back, Greater Manchester Police said.
