Hide AdFollowing Michael’s death, Lancashire Police appealed for dash cam and CCTV footage.
They also appealed for the driver of a white car which was in the area at the time of the incident to come forward and assist with inquires.
We have approached Lancashire Police to ask if anything ever came of their appeal and they have now confirmed that no one was arrested following their appeal.
