At around 6.30pm on Wednesday 14 August 2019, police were called to Lostock Lane to reports of a collision involving two VW Golf cars.
Emergency services attended and six people were taken to hospital.
Two people - a 23-year-old woman and a 24-year-old man - who were both in the first VW Golf – were taken to hospital with serious injuries. They remain there in a stable condition.
Four people who were in the second VW Golf – a 21 year old man, 22-year-old man and two 23-year-old men – were also taken to hospital with serious injuries. Two have been released from hospital and are in police custody. Two still remain in hospital and are in a stable condition.
Police are investigating whether this collision is linked to an incident which occurred a short time earlier on the same road.
