Appeal after man dies following Chorley collision

Monday, January 20, 2025

We are appealing for witnesses and footage following a fatal collision in Chorley.

Our officers were called to the junction of Pall Mall and Coventry Street at 8.07am on Monday (13th January) following reports of a collision between a MAN (truck) van and a Suzuki 98CC motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital for treatment. Despite the best efforts of medical personnel, his condition deteriorated and he sadly died on Saturday (18th January). Our thoughts are with the man’s loved ones at this extremely distressing time.

Sgt Chris Evans, from our Road Policing Unit, said: “This collision has resulted in a man losing his life and my thoughts are very much with his loved ones at this difficult time.

“Our work is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what led to the collision and I would ask anyone with information or dashcam footage which could assist us in our enquiries to make contact as soon as possible.”

You can contact us on 101 quoting log 191 of 13th January 2025, or by emailing [email protected]
