Officers investigating a fatal collison involving a baby girl in Tarleton are appealing for dashcam footage and witnesses to come forward.

Lancashire Police were called to reports that a Land Rover Discovery had collided with a Mini Cooper and then a tree on Hesketh Lane near to the junction with Oaklands Avenue.

Sadly, two people in the Land Rover Discovery, a 50-year-old man, and a girl aged 17-months were pronounced dead at the scene.

Their loved ones are being supported by specially trained officers.

The driver of the Mini was taken to hospital with minor injuries.

Hesketh Lane was closed in both directions between Firbank Avenue and Gorse Lane for a number of hours but has now re-opened.

Sgt Matt Davidson, of Lancashire Constabulary’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: "We are now appealing to you, the public, to ask that if you witnessed this collision, or have any dashcam or CCTV footage from Hesketh Lane or the surrounding areas between 8:00am and 8:30am this morning to please get in contact.

“We believe that there are people who may have witnessed the collision, or the white Land Rover Discovery in the moments beforehand, that we have not yet spoken to. If that is you, or you know someone who may have witnessed this collision, please get in touch."
