A WOMAN has died after a crash on the M58 last week.

Police were called to the motorway at around 10.10am on Tuesday, January 8 after a crash between a Mercedes lorry, a Ford Transit van and two cars, an Audi and a Ford Fiesta.

The collision happened in queuing traffic following an earlier incident on the M58 where two people, a 50-year-old woman and a 14-year-old boy, died.

The driver of the Ford, a 91-year-old woman from Orrell, suffered serious head, chest and leg injuries. She was taken to Aintree Hospital for treatment but died yesterday, Wednesday.

The driver of the Ford Transit, a 52-year-old man from Golborne, suffered chest and back injuries, with a passenger in the vehicle, a 49-year-old man from Radcliffe, suffering a minor head injury.

A 38-year-old man from Bradford, the driver of the Audi, suffered a fractured skull, facial fractures and head injuries. All those injured were treated at Aintree Hospital.

Sgt Steve Wignall, of Lancashire Police, said: “These are tragic circumstances and my thoughts are very much with the family and friends of the woman involved, as well as those who died following the earlier collision on the M58.

“We are continuing to appeal for information about both collisions and would urge anyone who has any information, and is yet to speak to police, to come forward."
