The heartbroken husband of a 74-year-old woman, who died after her car was involved in a crash in Penwortham, has paid tribute to her as police appealed for witnesses to the incident.

The collision happened at around 5pm on Sunday 10 May when a Honda Jazz collided with a parked car on Liverpool Road.

The driver, Betsy Lowe, from Much Hoole, suffered what were originally thought to be minor injuries.

However, her condition later deteriorated and she died at Royal Preston Hospital on Tuesday.

Sgt Claire Pearson of Lancashire Police's Road Policing Unit said: “This is a tragic incident and my thoughts are very much with Betsy’s family and friends at this difficult time.

"An investigation into how the collision occurred is underway and I would urge anyone who witnessed the collision to make contact with us.”
