A young man was tragically killed after a crash on the M6 in the early hours.
The smash happened after a Ford Fiesta left the carriageway and collided with a lamppost at around 3.10am yesterday (Sunday). Emergency services were scrambled to the scene when the car was found around an hour later.
Tragically, the driver - a 19-year-old from Preston - was pronounced dead at the scene, Lancashire Police said in a statement. His next of kin have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers.
