A59 TRAFFIC UPDATE BURSCOUGH – We are asking motorists to continue to avoid the A59 between Burscough and Rufford as the road is still closed due to a serious collision. We were called at around 4.10am this morning to a report that a number of vehicles had collided.
A number of people have been injured as a result and the road remains closed between Red Cat Lane in Burscough and New Road in Rufford whilst we investigate and repairs are carried out to a telegraph pole.
Red Cat Lane in Burscough and the surrounding roads are congested and traffic in Rufford is being diverted towards Mawdesley which is also making the B5246 very busy.
We’d urge people to avoid the area if possible for the remainder of the morning. We will let everyone know as soon as the road has re-opened. Thanks for your help.
