Cyclist ‘fighting for life’ after van crash

A cyclist is fighting for his life in hospital after a crash involving a van, police have said.

Lancashire Police said the man, in his 30s, was thrown from his Carrera racing bike after the crash with a Peugeot van that had been travelling north on the A6 in Catterall, near Garstang.

The cyclist was in a "critical" condition after suffering a serious head injury in the collision, which happened between The Avenue and Old Lancaster Road just after 20:30 GMT on Friday.

Sgt Pete Fyans said: "This collision has left a man with some very serious injuries, and I would appeal to anyone who witnessed the incident itself or who has any CCTV, dashcam, Ring doorbell or mobile footage to get in touch."
