A BLACKSPOT road was closed for around an hour yesterday after two cars collided.
The accident happened in Grane Road close to the Grey Mare pub just yards from the scene of an horrific crash which claimed the lives of two young Blackburn College students.
Gareth Edwards, 19, and Joseph Slupski, 17, died less than two weeks ago on themoorland road.
Yesterday, an Austin Metro driven by Christine McGarrigy, 22, of Brandlesholme, Bury, was in collision with a Ford Transit van driven by Michael Albert Denmark, 53, of Exeter Road, Blackburn, shortly before noon.
Mrs McGarrigy was taken to Blackburn Royal Infirmary with minor cuts and scratches and Mr Denmark was not injured. Both cars were badly damaged.
