At 11:09am on Thursday 24 April 2025, a fire engine from Blackburn, supported by the Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team, responded to a road traffic collision involving a single vehicle and a terraced property. Firefighters and USAR specialists used a winch to safely remove the vehicle from the building. Structural support was provided to the affected property to ensure it remained safe.
One casualty was taken to hospital by ambulance. The scene has since been handed over to building inspectors for Blackburn and Darwen Council, who have arranged for a demolition company to attend.
Lancashire Police are in attendance, and the road remains closed at this time.
