A young man was taken to hospital after crashing his motorbike on a 'muddy road' near the M6 in Leyland yesterday.
Emergency services were called to the scene at the traffic lights near The Woodsman pub, at the junction of Wigan Road and Leyland Way, shortly after 4pm.
Sharing an update on a local Facebook page, his mum said her son was returning from work when he came off his bike after sliding on mud in the road.
Fortunately, the young man was not seriously injured. He was taken to hospital for treatment.
Police reported the mud to Lancashire County Council’s highways team, who attended and cleaned the road to prevent further accidents.
