A MAN suffered serious injuries after two tractors collided on Boxing Day.
The incident happened on Course Lane, in Newburgh, at around 1.50pm.
A Ford tractor was towing a John Deere tractor which apparently hit the back of it and rolled over, ejecting the driver.
The 24-year-old from Burscough suffered serious pelvic injuries and is in a stable condition in Wigan hospital.
The driver of the Ford tractor was uninjured.
Sgt Dave Hogarth said: “I would appeal to anyone who was in the area and witnessed what happened to come forward.
“The driver of the second tractor is in a serious condition in hospital and we have specially trained officers supporting them.”
Anyone with information is asked to call the Samlesbury Road Policing Unit on 101.
