horrible accident. It was on the bypass traveling towards Rawtenstall. The driver seems to have failed to see the new roundabout that has caught so many others out already but unfortunately she has paid for it with her life, so sad. The fog was very bad today which could well have been a factor

A true tragedy. She was a much loved daughter, mother & sister. May she rest in peace and may her family and children have the strength to overcome this difficult time.

Such a tragedy, just a shame that the LT cannot report it correctly! Lord St is no where near the bypass.
