A WOMAN involved in a road accident on Monday has died from her injuries.

Police named her as Karen Blackburn, 28, of Woodburn Drive, Smithills, Bolton.

She suffered serious head injuries in the accident on Belmont Road, Belmont, when her Fiat Cinquecento was in collision with a Vauxhall Novano being driven by Gavin Entwistle, 24, of Belmont.

Police had not previously released her identity because her parents were on holiday in America and could not be contacted. They have now returned home.
