A schoolboy was injured after falling off his bike and into the path of a car. Emergency services were called to Liverpool Road South in Burscough at around 1.30pm on Wednesday, May 28.
It followed a report a 14-year-old boy fell from his “specialised mountain bike”, which was a push bike, into the road. He then crashed with a Vauxhall Mokka, which was travelling on Liverpool Road at the time.
The boy has been taken to hospital with a serious head injury, where he remains. His injuries are not thought to be life threatening or life-changing at this time, police said.
The driver of the Vauxhall has been spoken to, and Lancashire Police said at this time is solely being treated as a witness.
A police spokesperson said: “Our enquiries are very much in their early stages, but we are aware that Liverpool Road South can get quite busy, and there may be people who were passing, or have dashcam footage that we haven’t yet spoken to, so we are today appealing to you, the public, for your help.
“If you have footage of the boy falling from the bike, or from the moments prior to the incident on Liverpool Road South, please get in touch with us. You can contact us by calling 101 or emailing SCIU@lancashire.police.uk quoting log 0616 of 28th May 2025.”
