A 34-year-old woman has died in a crash near to Yealand Conyers.

It happened just after 9am this morning (Tuesday) when the blue Honda Civic she was driving collided with a lorry.

The incident happened just after the turn-off for Tarn Lane on the A6 heading to Carnforth.

Her three-year-old son, who had been in the car with her, was uninjured, as was the 57-year-old driver of the lorry.

The road was closed for more than 7 hours. Police want any witnesses to get in touch.

Sergeant Finn Quainton, of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “First and foremost we offer our deepest condolences to the family and friends of the woman who died. We have specialist officers supporting them through this incredibly sad time, and our thoughts remain with them.

“We would now like to piece together exactly what occurred and would appeal to anyone who saw the incident, or who saw the HGV or the Civic in the moments before the collision occurred, to get in touch as soon as possible.”
