Mr Rauf was treated for whiplash.

Their car was hit by a Vauxhall Corsa driven by Jane Cotter, 79, of Nairn Street, Burnley in Manchester Road on Sunday evening.

Mrs Cotter was treated at Burnley General Hospital for pelvis and leg injuries, which were not serious. A passenger, Marion Frost, 67, also of Nairn Street, received treatment for a swollen ankle.
