Lancashire Police said it is investigating whether any offence has been committed.

A police spokesperson said: “Our enquiries are focused on North Road - from the junction of Melling Street and Sedgwick Street, up to Ringway – and on the Penny Street car park.

“North Road going towards Ringway is a busy area and if any drivers have dashcam footage between 8.50pm and 10.18pm, we ask them to contact police.

“If anyone was in the area as a pedestrian and saw anything, again we ask them to come forward.”
