🔵 Driver flees scene of crash after Preston street fight

Hello reader,

Welcome to your daily round-up from the Lancashire Post.

First an apology for yesterday's miscommunication in the newsletter regarding the venue closure of supermarket chain Booths, as the premises shutting down is based in the North Yorkshire city of Ripon, and not as reported Lancashire. Here's the story in question.

Here are some of today's top stories.

🔵 A man fled the scene of a crash last night in Preston, with local residents reporting two men, one of them thought to be the alleged driver fighting in the street shortly before the crash occurred.
🔵 The owner of a much loved local record shop in Lancashire, who successfully ran the venue for more than 50-years has sadly died after a long-term battle with prostate cancer.
🔵 It's prom season, and we're continuing our coverage with this glamorous gallery from Penwortham Girls’ High School. Do you know anyone in the photos?
