A teenager has died and three others have been seriously injured after a collision in Aughton.
Emergency services were called shortly after 9pm yesterday (Wednesday, December 11th) after a Vauxhall Corsa driving north on Fir Tree Lane left the carriageway and collided with a farm building.
A 17-year-old male passenger within the car suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later. His family are aware, and our thoughts are with them at this time.
Three other teenagers, all boys, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
Det Sgt Joseph Ghigi, of Lancashire Constabulary’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) said: “This collision has very sadly resulted in the death of one young man and left three others with serious injuries and my thoughts are with all of their loved ones at this time.
“I would appeal to anyone who may have either seen the collision or the car in the moments before the collision, or anyone who has any dashcam or mobile phone footage or CCTV to get in touch.”
