THREE men have been arrested in connection with a fatal crash in Burnley.

Lewis Taylor 22, of Burnley, died following a collision on December 23 last year.

Officers were called at around 12.55pm to a crash between a motorcycle and a Toyota Yaris on Harold Street in the town.

Emergency services attended and found Mr Taylor with serious injuries but he was sadly pronounced dead at the scene a short time later.

At the time of his death it was revealed that his partner was due to give birth to their child this month.

Following inquiries police yesterday (Wednesday, March 17th) arrested three people in connection with the collision.

The three – men aged 25, 27, and 28 from Burnley – were arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving, disqualified driving and perverting the course of justice. They have all been released under investigation.

Sgt Lee Harris said: “My thoughts first and foremost remain with Mr Taylor’s loved ones.

“While we have made a number of arrests our enquiries are very much ongoing and I would appeal to anyone who has any information about this collision to come forward and speak to us.

“I would be particularly keen to speak to anyone who has any dashcam footage or CCTV.

Anybody with information should call 101, quoting log 667 of December 23rd.
