Shocking Hit-and-Run in Bickerstaffe: Man Found Dead

A man has sadly died following a fail-to-stop collision in Bickerstaffe this morning (Wednesday, August 30th).
We are now appealing for information about it.

We were called at around 4am to reports a Volkswagen T-Roc had been found on Liverpool Road, having been involved in a collision. A second vehicle – possibly a dark-coloured Audi - was seen making off from the scene.

The occupant of the T-Roc suffered serious injuries, and despite the best efforts of emergency services he was sadly pronounced dead a short time later.

Although no formal identification has taken place we believe he is a man aged in his 30s. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specially-trained officers.
First and foremost our thoughts are with his family and friends. We send them our deepest condolences at this awful time.

We are now working extremely hard to piece together what occurred and we would like to hear from anybody with information about the collision. Perhaps you think you know who was involved, or maybe you were in the Bickerstaffe area shortly before 4am today and saw something suspicious, or have dashcam footage that could assist us.

Whatever information you have, please let us know. A man has lost his life and his family deserve answers as to what happened.
Anybody with information is asked to contact us on 101, quoting log 146 of August 30th.
