A 16-year-old Preston teenager, Adam Bodi has been identified as the victim who passed away in a deadly vehicle crash over the weekend. Law enforcement agencies say.
A 16-year-old boy died after sustaining significant injuries in a car accident near Preston Docks Friday night, police said. At 10.55 p.m., an incident occurred on Chain Caul Way between Leeward Road and Nile Close, injuring three teens critically.
Authorities say the 16-year-old boy in the back seat was pronounced as a result of his terrible injuries, while the 18-year-old driver is still in critical condition in the hospital.
The 17-year-old front-seat passenger in the vehicle sustained significant injuries and is in stable condition in hospital. After emergency services were alerted to complaints of an accident, officers on the scene discovered an Audi A3 Sport that had been traveling towards Lea and had off the carriageway and struck trees.
Sgt Paul McCurrie, of Lancashire Police’s Road 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 sadly died.
“We’re continuing to investigate the collision, and our thoughts also remain with the injured people and their loved ones. We wanted to bring you this update today, but are also continuing to ask for any witnesses, or people with dashcam footage of the Chain Caul Way area to please get in contact.”
