Tragic Cleveleys Crash Claims Life of Beloved 89-Year-Old Woman
The family of 89-year-old Jean Holgate have paid a heartfelt tribute after she died in a nasty collision in Cleveleys on Monday morning.
Crash Details: Van and Car Collide on A585
The smash happened around 11:15am on the A585 Amounderness Way. A Nissan Micra, driven by Jean, was heading southbound when it turned right into Anchorsholme Lane. It collided with a Ford Transit van.
The van then veered off the road, clipping a 67-year-old pedestrian from Fleetwood before coming to a halt in some trees. Jean was rushed to Royal Preston Hospital but sadly passed away later that night.
Family Mourns ‘Wonderful’ Jean Holgate
Jean, who lived in the Anchorsholme area, leaves behind her husband, son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren, all devastated by her loss.
“Jean was a wonderful person and very much loved by all that knew her. We are heartbroken to have lost her and appreciate every single one of the well-wishes and messages of condolence,” said the family.
The pedestrian suffered minor injuries and is expected to make a full recovery.
Police Appeal for Witnesses and Dash Cam Footage
Officers continue to investigate and urge anyone who saw the crash to come forward.
