Teenage boy airlifted to hospital with ‘major trauma’ injuries after colliding with van in Fleetwood

Police cordoned off North Church Street at around 3pm on Wednesday (July 26) as an air ambulance landed on the Esplanade.

North West Ambulance Service later confirmed they were called after a “child on a scooter collided with a van.”

“The teenage boy was airlifted to Alder Hey Hospital to be treated for major-trauma related injuries,” a spokesman for NWAS added.

The air ambulance was spotted taking off at around 3.45pm.

Lancashire Police have been approached for more information.
