Murder probe after man struck by car near pub
GooglePolice have launched a murder investigation after a man was fatally struck by a car near a pub.
It happened just after 22:00 BST on Wednesday near to the Nag's Head pub at the junction of Blackburn Road and Birch Street in Accrington town centre.
The man, who was in his 40s, was taken to hospital with serious injuries, where he later died, Lancashire Police said.
Det Supt Mark Dickinson said there had been "some interaction" between the victim and the people in the car, a VW Passat, which failed to stop and was later found abandoned on Barden Road.
He added: "I would ask any witnesses we haven't already spoken to or anybody with mobile phone footage, CCTV or dashcam from the area around Birch Street to make contact with my team.
"I am also keen to hear from anyone who saw the VW Passat following the incident or who may have any CCTV or doorbell footage from the area around Barden Road and Lynton Road where it was found abandoned."
