The M.E.N understands that the collision involved a pedestrian and a silver Vauxhall Corsa, which stopped at the scene.
Traffic police have since left the scene, as the Serious Collision Unit continues to investigate.
A witness said that there were 'around five' police cars also in attendance.
"It seems like a car has gone through the crossing at the junction of Prince Street and that is where they have hit the person," they said.
Further details of the incident and the condition of the person who was reportedly hit is not yet known.
Oldham Way remains open on the Eastbound carriageway.
Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for more information.
