Police are appealing for witnesses and footage after a motorcyclist was left seriously injured following a collision in Knott End.
Officers were called to Lancaster Road at 5.50pm yesterday (October 25) following reports of a collision involving a Vauxhall Corsa and a Yamaha FZS.
The motorcyclist, a man in his 70s, was taken to hospital where he remains in a serious condition.
Following enquiries, a 38-year-old man from Blackpool was arrested on suspicion of causing serious injury by careless driving and driving otherwise in accordance with a licence. He remains in custody.
Sgt Phil Baxendale, of the Road Policing Unit, said: “This collision has left a motorcyclist very seriously injured and my thoughts are with him at this time.
“Although we have made an arrest, our enquiries are very much ongoing to establish the full circumstances of what led to the collision, I would ask for any witnesses we haven’t already spoken to or anybody with dashcam, CCTV or doorbell footage which captured anything in the lead up to the collision to get in contact with us.”
