I must have driven past that just after it happened, the renault was smashed in at the front and a white van along side it, both were about 50-100yds from Bank bridge preston side and both pointing towards Tarleton. Other cars were stopped and no emergancy services there yet.

Report said accident on the bridge but what I saw was well away from there.
