Yesterday we told you about a road closure in Burnley following a fatal collision, and we just wanted to give you some more information and ask for your help.
Emergency services were called at 7:07pm on Tuesday 13th October to Crown Point Road following reports of a collision.
Our officers attended and found that a grey Skoda Octavia estate travelling on Crown Point Road in the direction of Manchester Road had collided with a dry-stone wall.
Very sadly, a man in his 20s was pronounced deceased at the scene.
Another man in his 20s suffered spinal and ribs injuries and was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
A third male, a 22-year-old from Padiham, was arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has now been released under investigation.
We also arrested a fourth male, a 33-year-old from the Burnley area, on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and he has been released under investigation.
We now know the Skoda Octavia estate involved in the collision was parked on the Crown Point car park near to the Singing Ringing Tree between 6:30pm and 7:05pm.
Anyone who saw the vehicle at the car park, or anyone travelling along Crown Point Road in either direction during this time (6:30pm – 7:05pm) with dashcam footage, is asked to call us on 101, quoting log 1252 of 13th October.
