Police are appealing for witnesses after an 83-year-old woman died following a road traffic collision in Glasson Dock.

Around 1.20pm on Tuesday 25th June, a Honda Civic was involved in a head on collision with a Case Loading Shovel on School Lane.

The driver of the Honda, Renee Garth from Glasson Dock, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver of the Case Loading Shovel, a 36-year-old man from Lancaster, was uninjured.

Sergeant Steve Wignall said: “If anybody witnessed this collision but hasn’t already spoken to police then I would ask that they make contact with us.

“I would also like to speak with anybody who was in the area at the time and thinks they may have seen either vehicle being driven prior to the collision.”
