CCTV images of the car on the road have been released by Greater Manchester Police.

The woman, who is described as white, has not been seen since the incident.

Pc Natalie Jamieson said: “We have been conducting house-to-house, CCTV and dashcam footage inquiries since the report, trying to establish the full circumstances of what may have happened.

“So far, these inquiries have proven negative for locating the woman or driver, and we are now in a position of needing to appeal for the wider public’s help.

“At the centre of this is potentially a woman who is in need of urgent safeguarding or medical care, and we need to locate her as soon as possible.”

Because the car was on the move, the force said that it is possible that the vehicle has left the Greater Manchester area.
