These long skid marks tell their own story after a near miss involving a tractor and young cyclist last night in Aughton.
The incident happened early evening at the junction of Long Lane, Parrs Lane and Scarth Hill Lane; the young cyclist was seen walking along Long Lane towards Aughton Park station with his badly damaged bike, its wheel buckled after the accident.
It's a story which could have had a very unhappy ending - but thankfully not this time...
