A teenager has died and three others have been seriously injured after a collision in Aughton.
Emergency services were called shortly after 9pm yesterday (Wednesday, December 11th) after a Vauxhall Corsa driving north on Fir Tree Lane left the carriageway and collided with a farm building.
A 17-year-old male passenger within the car suffered serious injuries and was taken to hospital but sadly died a short time later. His family are aware, and our thoughts are with them at this time.
Three other teenagers, all boys, were taken to hospital with serious injuries.
