Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses after a man died following a collision in Preston city centre in November.
We were called to Lancaster Road, near to the junction with Jacson Street at around 1.35pm on Saturday, November 5th following a collision involving a green Vauxhall Mokka and an 86-year-old male pedestrian.
He suffered a head injury and was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital by ambulance.
Very sadly, the man – who is from Leyland - died on Tuesday 13th December.
Police are urging witnesses, or anyone with information about the incident to come forward.
