Appeal after man seriously injured in Blackburn collision

Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after a man was seriously injured in a collision in Blackburn.

Officers were called at 9.28pm yesterday (Thursday) to Heys Lane, Blackburn, to a report of a road traffic collision.

They found that an E-Scooter and a pedal cycle had been in collision near to the junction with Scotland Bank Terrace.

The rider of the E-Scooter, a man in his 20s, suffered head injuries and is in a serious condition in hospital.

A man in his 60s who was riding the pedal cycle, was taken to hospital with minor arm and rib injuries.

Sgt Anthony Beckett of the Roads Policing Unit, said: “My thoughts first and foremost are with the rider of the E-Scooter as he receives treatment and care for his injuries in hospital.

“As we investigate, we are asking for anyone who saw the collision or has dashcam, CCTV or ring doorbell footage from the area, to contact police.”

Please call 101, quoting log 1450 of 8th May, or email the Serious Collision Investigation Unit at SCIU@lancashire.police.uk
