One person has died after a crash between two cars in Lancashire, police said.

The man, who was in his 20s, was travelling in a Renault Megane towards Burnley from Rossendale, at about 03:00 BST on Sunday.

Officers said the car collided with a Ford Kuga, which hit three parked vehicles, on Burney Road East.

The driver of the Megane was pronounced dead at the scene, police said, while two passengers were taken to hospital.

Sgt Daniel Gunn, from Lancashire Police, said the road was closed for several hours while investigations took place.

He said officers were appealing for anyone who has CCTV or doorbell footage from the scene, to contact police.

"Also, if anyone was travelling in the area and has dashcam footage from around the time of the collision, we again ask them to get in touch," he added.
