A 16-year-old Preston teenager, Adam Boddy, has been identified as the victim who died in a fatal road accident at the weekend. Law enforcement agencies announce this.
A 16-year-old boy has died after suffering serious injuries in a car crash near Preston Docks, police said. At 10.55pm three teenagers were seriously injured in an incident on Chain Caul Way between Leeward Road and Nile Close.
Authorities say the 16-year-old boy in the back seat was pronounced dead at the scene, and the 18-year-old driver remains in critical condition at the hospital.
The 17-year-old front seat passenger in the car was seriously injured and is in stable condition in the hospital. After emergency services were alerted to complaints of an accident, officers at the scene found an Audi A3 Sport traveling in the direction of Lea had left the carriageway and crashed into trees.
Sergeant Paul McCurry, from Lancashire Police’s traffic policing unit, said: “A young life has been lost and, at what must be an incredibly distressing time for them, our thoughts go out to the family and loved ones of the teenager who has sadly passed away.
“We are continuing to investigate the collision and our thoughts are also with the injured and their families. We wanted to provide you with this update today, but we also continue to ask for witnesses, or people with dashcam footage in the Chain Caul Way area, to contact us.”
