Two men from Rochdale have been identified as victims of a crash which occurred on the M6 in Cumbria last month. Emergency services were called to the northbound carriageway of the motorway, near Penrith, on February 28.
At 11.18am, crews were dispatched to reports of a crash between a van and a car at junctions 39 and 40. Two people travelling in the car involved in the collision were pronounced dead at the scene.
Viorel Stroe, 43, from Rochdale, was travelling in a Volkswagen Passat when it collided with a white Mercedes Luton van. Members of the public on the scene tried to revive Mr Stroe, but their efforts were sadly unsuccessful.
