A newborn baby has died and his mother was left in serious condition after a hit-and-run in Lancashire.

A pregnant woman in her 30s was walking along a pedestrian crossing in Bamber Bridge village on Sunday when she was hit by a car.

Her son was delivered in hospital but died shortly after.

Six people have now been arrested in relation to the hit-and-run, and police are still trying to find the vehicle.

A 17-year-old girl from Lostock Hall, a 19-year-old man from Bolton, and a 40-year-old man from Blackburn, have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender and attempting to pervert the course of justice.

Two boys, aged 15 and 17, and a 53-year-old man have also been arrested in connection with the incident and have been bailed pending inquiries.
