later, serious injuries were caused when three teenagers were thrown from the back of a Vauxhall Nova car which struck a wall and overturned into a field just inside the Ribble Valley boundary on


the Gisburn-Blacko road. Altogether, there were six young people from the Pendle area in the vehicle, which was being driven by Kieron Potts (18), of Colne, towards his


workplace at Chatbum. Emergency services from a


wide area answered calls for help, and paramedics and MedAlert doctors spent some time stabilising the condition of the seriously injured at the roadside before they were taken to various hospitals. Three are still detained and


the condition of one still remains critical.


One of the area’s leading motor industry figures dies aged 69


The area was sealed off for


over two hours as police start­ ed their investigations. The following day, a motor


cyclist fell from his machine in the same area, but escaped


injury. On Monday a t tea-time,


Billington man Mr Brian McLaughlin (34) sustained chest injuries in a head-on crash at the traffic lights by the picnic centre at Whalley. He and the other driver, Mr Mark Connolly (36), from Accrington, received treat­ ment at Blackburn Royal Infirmary.

As it is designed to help people rehydrate, we knew that many of the other exhibitors and delegates queueing first thing for sam­ ples were doing so to help ease night before hangovers because alcohol can dehy­ drate the body. ■ "We then saw a quote in
