The pensioner was rushed to hospital but could not survive his injuries
The driver, a man in his 70s, was rushed to hospital when emergency services attended the scene at Forton this morning but could not survive his injuries. Police and paramedics were called to the scene at around 6.05am when the X2 car drove across the A6 from Hollins Lane.
The vehicle then collided with banking and a metal pole. Police say the pensioner died in hospital later in the morning. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.Sgt Daniel Gunn, of the Lancashire Roads Policing Uni, said: “Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the man who died, at what is a truly awful time for them. This was a tragic incident and we send them our deepest condolences.
“We are now investigating exactly what occurred and are asking anybody who saw the collision, saw the car in the moments before it happened, or who has dashcam showing anything significant, to get in touch with us straight away.” The road was closed for around three-and-a-half hours while collision investigators attended. It has since re-opened. Anybody with information should call 101, quoting log 204 of September 27.
