Police make fresh appeal for dashcam footage after M6 crash
Three year old Faye Dawson and a 79 year old man were killed in the crash near Leyland.
Lancashire Police are again appealing for witnesses and dashboard mounted camera footage after a fatal road traffic collision on the M6 at Leyland.
It happened last Saturday (November 19) at approximately 5.49pm when a Porsche Boxster was in collision with a Vauxhall Meriva on the southbound carriageway between junctions 29 and 28.
Tragically two people were killed, three-year-old Faye Dawson who was travelling in the Meriva, and a 79-year-old man who was driving the Porsche Boxster.
On Thursday, Faye’s heartbroken family paid a loving tribute to a ‘loving and caring’ little girl who ‘was loved by everyone who met her’.
Faye’s mum suffered serious injuries as did a man who was travelling in the Meriva. They remain in hospital.
Investigating officers suspect the Porsche Boxster was travelling in the wrong direction on the carriageway when the collision happened, having entered the motorway at junction 28 via the southbound slip road.
If anyone who witnessed the collision hasn’t come forward yet, we ask them to do so.
Also, if any drivers have dashcam footage from the motorway around the time of the collision, we are appealing for them to contact us.
Please contact 101, quoting log 1102 of November 19, 2022.
Sgt Craig Booth, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “This collision has left both families grieving in a way most of us will never understand.
“On behalf of Lancashire Police and the investigation team I would like them to know our thoughts are with them all, they are being supported by specially trained officers as a result of this traumatic incident.
“I feel I also need to mention all the emergency services who attended who are also trying to come to terms with what happened.”
