A driver from Longridge is in hospital with serious injuries after a crash on the A6 yesterday.

At around 5.10pm yesterday (October 5), a Seat Ibiza and a Mercedes Sprinter van were involved in a crash on Preston Lancaster Road in Hampson.

Police say the vehicles were travelling in opposite directions at the time of the crash.

The driver of the Seat, an 18-year-old man, suffered a number of serious injuries and remains in hospital.

The road was closed for a number of hours but has since re-opened.

Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following the crash near Lancaster.

Sgt Phil Baxendale, from the road policing unit, said: “This collision has left a young man with some very serious injuries and my thoughts are with him at this time.

“We are now working to establish exactly what caused the collision and I would ask anyone with information or dashcam footage which would assist our enquiries to contact us as soon as possible.”
