Padiham Road closed
Anyone travelling on Padiham Road, it is closed from Dugdale Road when travelling towards Burnley. I’m told there has been a fatal accident.

Re: Padiham Road closed
Has been shut since around 2:45, and I saw the helicopter land when I was picking my daughter up from school. It’s still shut now and I’ve heard there was motor bikers involved. There was a BMW 4x4 and two double deckers parked awkwardly close by so they could also have been involvedClaretTony wrote:Anyone travelling on Padiham Road, it is closed from Dugdale Road when travelling towards Burnley.

L.E.T.News says motorcyclist 'suffers serious leg injuries' in crash', no mention of a fatality.

Re: Padiham Road closed
Just after 2.35, two young lads on motorbikes ( looked like trials bikes, no numberplates ) overtook me on Padiham Road, doing over 50 as I was driving down towards Gannow Top roundabout, then shot up the road towards the William Hill shop on the corner of Claremont St/Padiham Road .... I fear it was one of them that may have been involved. According to the local Community F/B page, the air ambulance landed on the bowling green at Ightenmount Bowls Club ...ClaretTony wrote:Anyone travelling on Padiham Road, it is closed from Dugdale Road when travelling towards Burnley.

Re: Padiham Road closed
I was on the bus and was told there had been a fatality. Thank goodness that info was wrong. The air ambulance helicopter flew over Gawthorpe during the u23 game.Pstotto wrote:L.E.T.News says motorcyclist 'suffers serious leg injuries' in crash', no mention of a fatality.

Could not really tell you but his mate drove off when the crash happened and he came back a few minutes later and he was on the 2 wheeled bike.Clarets4me wrote:Was it a quad bike, or a 2 wheel " trials " type bike with green mudguards ?

Re: Padiham Road closed
Has the road opened yet? Are buses from Padiham running via a diversion?

Re: Padiham Road closed
I believe they're diverting up Lakeland Way, down Ightenhill Park Rd and rejoining at the Tim Bobbin lights.Thickneck wrote:Has the road opened yet? Are buses from Padiham running via a diversion?
I live on Padiham Rd just at the top of Middlesex Ave and haven't seen a bus for hours.

Buses running now
Re: Padiham Road closed
I was worried about relations so checked and when I saw I posted straight away, because I thought everyone else must be worrying too. Glad also, if somebody went past and saw a mangled bike and a body on the floor not moving, the story could escalate as stated.
