Officers from Lancashire Police were called at around 12.40pm on Friday (May 6) to a report that a HGV, travelling towards Blackburn Road on Higher Shuttleworth in Burnley, had left the carriageway and partially overturned.
Sadly the driver, who has since been named as Robbie Ackers, 54, from Middleton, was pronounced dead at the scene.
We are continuing to investigate the collision to establish exactly what occurred and are asking anybody who witnessed it, or who has dashcam showing what happened, to get in touch.
Anybody with information should call 101, quoting log 618 of May 6.
