Hello, 

Lancashire Police are appealing for witnesses after a crash outside Deepdale Stadium.

Earlier today, we reported how a crash outside Deepdale had closed Sir Tom Finney Way between Blackpool Road and St George’s Road.

Lancashire Police have now confirmed they were called at 1.42pm to a crash involving a car and a female pedestrian, who has suffered a serious leg injury. The road had reopened by 4.45pm. 

Any witnesses to the incident are being urged to call 101, quoting log 786 of June 3.

Elsewhere today, our PNE writer Tom Sandells has had his say on the prospect of Liverpool playing a friendly at Deepdale. It's certainly split opinion. 

And we've had a real delve into our archives, looking back to the year 2002 in Preston and going way back with a nostalgic look at Avenham Park. 

I hope you're enjoying the sun, thanks for reading, 

Adam
