A teenage boy has died in a horror crash in Belthorn, police said.
Lancashire Constabulary are appealing for witnesses and footage of the crash in Jackson Heights Road, at 8.40 pm yesterday, September 22.
Officers were called to a crash involving one vehicle, a blue Vauxhall Corsa.
Police attended and found the Corsa, which had been going south on Jackson Heights Road, had left the carriageway before coming to rest down an embankment.
The driver of the car, a 17-year-old boy, was found unresponsive in the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Four other teenagers suffered injuries, which were not life-threatening, and they were taken to the hospital for treatment.
The road was closed for some time while collision investigation work was carried out.
Sgt Pete Fyans said: “This was a tragic collision in which a teenager lost his life, and my thoughts first and foremost are with his family at this incredibly sad time.
“As we investigate what happened, we are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision or has dash cam footage from the area, to contact us.
“This is a rural location, but it might be that other vehicles were travelling in the area around the time this collision happened.”
Anyone with information, please contact 101 – quoting log 1329 of 22nd September – or email the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at SCIU@lancashire.police.uk
