FATHER-OF-TWO and Thai boxer Christopher Young, aged 29, died on Sunday evening in a horrific two car crash.

The insurance salesman from Horwich had to be cut free from the wreckage of his Vauxhall Astra by firemen after the collision.

He had suffered head and chest injuries in the collision in Atherton Road, Hindley.

The driver of the Vauxhall Omega involved and his 21-year-old female front-seat passenger from Hindley, were taken to Wigan Infirmary with minor injuries after the accident. Neither have been named.

The driver was later discharged from hospital and arrested by police on suspicion of motoring offences. He was released on bail pending further inquiries.
