Emergency services race to scene of road crash at Bay Gateway junction in Morecambe

The scene of the crash on Monday evening

A woman was pulled from a burning car after a crash near the Bay Gateway and Morecambe Road junction.

The woman was taken to hospital with a suspected pelvic fracture after being dragged from the car as its bonnet was on fire.

Nobody else was reported to be hurt following the collision involving the car and a lorry just before 8.45pm on Monday.

A police spokesperson said: "Officers ensured all persons were safely away from the fire and managed the traffic."

A spokesperson for Lancashire Fire and Rescue said: "At 20:43 on the 29th August 2022, two fire engines from Morecambe and Lancaster along with the water bowser from Leyland attended a road traffic collision on Morecambe Road, Morecambe.

"The incident involved two vehicles, one was well alight when crews arrived. Firefighters wore breathing apparatus and used one hose reel and lighting at the incident. Crews also worked to make the scene safe and were in attendance for 30 minutes."

A road closure was in place on Monday evening but the road was open again on Tuesday (the photo below shows the scene on Tuesday morning).
