elling along the A59 towards Gisburn was involved in a collision with a blue Mazda 323 which had come out of Pendle Road and was believed to be turning right. The four occupants of the Peugeot - two

- the scene of Tuesday’s fatal accident. Last year he slammed plans to install per

of money have been raised by speed cameras all across Lancashire. “The time has come for the police and the
local authority to act together on this notori ous danger area.”
