TWO CARS were involved in a collision with a lamppost outside the Tesco superstore in Burnley this morning.

A Chevrolet and Fiat Doblo were involved in the incident, which was caused by one of the vehicles suffering a tyre blow-out.

Neither driver required hospital treatment following the incident just before 7.30am on Centenary Way.

The southbound carriageway heading towards Yorkshire Street remains closed at the moment but is expected to reopen shortly.
