One witness said: "An Audi had hit two 'No entry' signs and got stuck between them. It looked like one of the drivers had just passed their test - they had a green 'P' sign on.
"The cars were pretty badly damaged and it looked like one guy was taken to hospital, but his injuries didn't look that serious."
A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "“At around 4.05pm today, officers were called to reports of a collision on Ashton Road, Oldham. The collision involved three vehicles and only minor injuries have been reported.
"Officers are at the scene."
