A man in his 90s was rushed to hospital after being hit by a car.

Police and paramedics were called to Kelbrook Road in Barnoldswick following reports of a road traffic collision. The incident happened at 8.45am on Thursday (November 28).

Lancashire Constabulary officers found that a Hyundai i30 had been in collision with the elderly pedestrian in the carriageway. He suffered facial injuries and was taken to hospital.

His injuries are not thought to be life-threatening. The road was closed for a time while collision investigation work was carried out.

It has since reopened. Police are now appealing for anyone with information and footage to come forward.

Anyone who witnessed the collision or has dashcam footage from the area around the time it happened should contact police on 101 – quoting log 0230 of November 28 – or email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk.
