Police are appealing for witnesses after a BMW crashed into a man and woman at a busy junction.

On Tuesday at around 3pm, at the junction of King Street and Towngate in Leyland, the BMW 2 Series crashed into the pedestrians, both aged in their 50s.

The woman suffered serious head injuries and was taken to hospital, where she remains in a stable condition.

Thankfully the male pedestrian suffered minor injuries.

The road was closed for around four hours while collision investigators attended.

Police would now like to hear from anybody who can help them piece together what occurred.

Sgt Phil Baxendale, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “We are working hard to establish exactly what happened on Tuesday and are appealing to anybody who witnessed the collision, or saw either the BMW or the pedestrians in the moments before it occurred, to get in touch with us.

“Equally we would like to hear from anybody who has dashcam footage or CCTV footage showing the incident.”

Anybody with information is asked to get in touch on 101, quoting log 1011 of May 18.
