Police are investigating and appealing for information following a collision between a woman and a tractor on the Bay Gateway in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The incident occurred at around 2.20am yesterday (Saturday, July 2nd) on the Bay Gateway, close to the junction with Morecambe Road, when a woman - aged in her 30s – was struck by an HGV tractor unit and trailer.
She was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which it is believed will be life-changing.
The road was closed until around 7am while specialist accident investigators attended.
We would now like to hear from anybody who saw the collision, saw either the pedestrian or the HGV in the moments before it happened, or who has dashcam or CCTV showing what occurred.
Sgt Dave Hurst, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “This collision has left a woman in hospital with serious injuries and an investigation has been launched to establish exactly what occurred.
“Perhaps you saw the collision or have dashcam or CCTV showing what happened.
“The woman was walking along the Bay Gateway in company with a man when the incident took place so we are also asking anybody who drove down the road at the time of the collision to cast their minds back and see if they can remember seeing the pair. Similarly anybody who saw the HGV in the moments before the collision should get in touch.”
Do you have information? Please call 101, quoting log 143 of July 2nd.
