Appeal after man dies following Chorley collision

Police are appealing for witnesses and footage following a fatal collision in Chorley.

Officers were called to the junction of Pall Mall and Coventry Street at 8.07am on Monday (13th January) following reports of a collision between a van and a Suzuki 98CC motorcycle.

The motorcyclist, a man in his 50s, was taken to hospital for treatment. Despite the best efforts of medical personnel, his condition deteriorated and he died on Saturday (18th January).

Sgt Chris Evans, from the Road Policing Unit, said: “This collision has resulted in a man losing his life and my thoughts are very much with his loved ones at this difficult time.

“Our work is ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what led to the collision and I would ask anyone with information or dashcam footage which could assist us in our enquiries to make contact as soon as possible.”
