Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses and dashcam footage following a serious road traffic collision in St Michael’s on Wyre.

Officers were called at 8.35am yesterday (June 15) to Garstang Road (A586), where a car and a motorbike had been in collision.

The rider of the motorbike, a man in his 50s, suffered serious head and leg injuries and is in a critical condition in hospital.

The motorbike had been travelling south-west bound from Churchtown towards St Michael’s, and the car – a VW Passat driven by a woman in her 40s – was travelling in the opposite direction.

Sgt Laura Kendall, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This was a serious road traffic collision in which a man was seriously injured. Our thoughts are very much with him and his family as he undergoes treatment in hospital.

“We are appealing for witnesses to the collision and to anyone who has dashcam footage from the area around the time of the collision. This would help us in our investigation.”

Anyone with information or footage is asked to contact 101 – quoting log 0419 of June 15, 2023 – or email sciu@lancashire.police.uk
