Woman Dies Following Crash In Penwortham
A 74-year-old woman has died after she was involved in a road traffic accident in Penwortham earlier this month.
The collision happened at around 5pm on Sunday 10 May when a Honda Jazz collided with a parked car on Liverpool Road.
The driver, Betsy Lowe, from Much Hoole, suffered what were originally thought to be minor injuries. However, her condition later deteriorated and she died at Royal Preston Hospital on Tuesday 19 May.
Officers are appealing for anyone who witnessed the collision to come forward.
Prisoner Absconds From HMP Leyhill
The police are appealing for help to trace a 25-year-old man who has absconded from HMP Leyhill, south Gloucestershire.
Vladymyr Lunkov was given an indeterminate sentence in 2008 after being convicted of sexual assault and burglary offences committed in London.
He is considered to be a risk to the public.
Police are appealing to anyone with information to contact them.
Replacement Bridge Over A38 Officially Opens
A £1.9m project to replace a bridge over the A38 near Rattery has been officially opened.
Dry Bridge spans the A38 trunk road between Marley Head and Lower Dean junctions. The concrete in the 1,400 tonne bridge was suffering from alkali silica reaction, commonly known as 'concrete cancer' and was demolished last November during a 15-hour operation.
The new structure, which consists of a steel framework with a concrete deck, has been constructed on new foundations and was craned into place during four further overnight trunk road closures in February.
