Man dies in a fatal crash in Fleetwood
A possible witness is being urged by police to come forward in the wake of last week’s fatal crash.
On Wednesday, February 28, at around 12.15 am, Michael Downing, 33, of Fleetwood, was driving a Vauxhall Corsa on Blackpool Road in Poulton-le-Fylde when it collided with a parked Range Rover Evoque.
The driver of a white car that police believe may have been a Nissan Qashqai or a similar model and was in the vicinity at the time of the incident is someone who they are especially interested in speaking with.
They think the driver of that vehicle could know something that could help them.
Michael’s family paid tribute to him by saying, “Michael was a very kind, well-liked, quick-witted, and decent guy. Everyone who knew him will miss him.
Anyone with information is asked to email SCIU@lancashire.police.uk or call 101 and reference log 0016 of February 28, 2024.
Police are trying to piece together the last movements of a man who was found dead on the beach at Fleetwood.
On Friday at around 17:00 BST, a dog walker found the death of Staffordshire resident George Wiskin, 76.
He passed away from natural causes, according to a post-mortem study.
The police have asked witnesses to come forward “for the sake of his family” and believe that Mr. Wiskin may have been in the Blackpool region for a conference.
