The car clipped the kerb and collided with wooden bollards and a lamppost before flipping over and crashing through a hedge before coming to rest on its roof in a field.

The A6061 was closed for around four hours from 11.30pm on Sunday (29 May) while police accident investigators were on the scene.

A passenger, 20, from Bamber Bridge, suffered a broken nose and collar bone. Both men were taken to Royal Preston Hospital and their injuries are not thought to be life threatening.
