Cyclist taken to hospital after crash in Buckshaw Village

The woman was injured after being hit by a car on a roundabout in Central Drive at 10.40am.

Police closed the roundabout for around 30 minutes whilst the woman, who was conscious, was treated by ambulance crews.

She was then helped into an ambulance and taken to Royal Preston Hospital for further treatment.

Her injuries are not believed to be serious.

Lancashire Police and North West Ambulance Service have been approached for further details.

A black helicopter was also seen circling the skies above Buckshaw today, but this was unrelated to the Central Drive cyclist crash.
