Tuesday, May 20, 2025

We are appealing for witnesses and footage after a man very sadly died following a collision in Burnley.

It happened around 11.20pm on 5th May on Brunshaw Road, with a Vauxhall Corsa and a Toyota Prius in collision.

The driver of the Corsa, a man in his 70s, was taken to hospital with chest injuries. He sadly died on 18th May.

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this distressing time, and the family are being supported by specially trained officers.

If anyone witnessed the collision, which happened near to the junction of Brownside Road, or has dashcam footage from the area, we ask you to contact us.

Please contact 101, quoting log 1492 of 5th May, or email our Serious Collision Investigation Unit at [email protected].
