Three injured in East Lancs crash
A MAN was air lifted to hospital following a two vehicle crash on the East Lancashire Road.
The 35 year old was a passenger in a HGV which collided with a Fiat shortly before 9am on Thursday morning.
The 45 year old driver of the HGV was also taken to hospital by ambulance along with the female driver of the Fiat, who is thought to be in her 50s.
Her condition is serious but stable. The condition of the two men in the HGV is thought to be life threatening.
The crash meant that the road was closed until late afternoon following the incident which happened on the west-bound carriageway between Golbourne and Haydock Islands.
Merseyside Police would urge anyone who witnessed this collision to contact the Roads Policing Unit on 0151 777 3724 or Crimestopers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at 06:03 PMSpell 'Golborne' as you wish, jamesjoseph, the modern way or the antiquated way both mean the same thing. ..... The fact of the matter is that the 'condition of the two men in the HGV' was NOT thought to be life threatening'. To say that it was is wrong information and bad journalism.

Monday, February 20, 2012 at 01:01 AMReading the report, I was thinking they must be making Fiats tough these days to injure 2 men in an HGV, then having read Jemmy`s comments, only then did it make comprehension

Saturday, February 18, 2012 at 06:13 PMThis article is an almost word for word COPY of the Police report on this incident. ...... This is made clear by the incorrect spelling of Golborne (wrongly spelt as 'Golbourne' in the original Police report and copied onto here by a daft reporter) ...... The original says - ' their conditions are NOT thought to be life threatening '.. ....... My God. These reporters can't even COPY correctly.
