A family have paid tribute to a man who died in a collision in Blackburn earlier this month.
At 12:25am on Thursday 2nd April police were called to Livesey Branch Road, Blackburn, to a report of a collision involving two vehicles.
Officers attended and found that a Peugeot 107 had been involved in a collision with a parked, unattended Toyota Landcruiser.
The front seat passenger in the Peugeot, a man in his 40s, suffered traumatic injuries, and despite the best efforts of medical personnel, was pronounced deceased at the scene.
The man can now be named as 49 year old Danny Fletcher.
His family have paid tribute to him, saying: “Danny was a kind and caring soul - someone who could put a smile on your face even on the darkest of days. He had a rare and natural ability to lift others when they were at their lowest, often without even realising it. His presence alone brought comfort, laughter, and light.
“Danny will always be remembered for the love he gave, the light he brought, and the lives he touched. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
“Forever loved. Forever missed.”
As part of the investigation police arrested a 46 year old man from Blackburn on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. He has since been released on bail with conditions pending further enquiries.
As they continue to investigate the collision, they are asking for anyone who witnessed it happen, or has any dashcam/CCTV footage from the area, to get in touch.
