Two men were seriously injured when a McLaren car crashed into a house and caught fire in Lancashire.

The car crashed into a lamppost and then a home in Heyhouses Lane, St Annes, at about 2.35am on Saturday.

Both the car and the house caught fire, which was extinguished by firefighters, Lancashire Constabulary said.

I would ask any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage which captured the McLaren in the lead-up to the collision to contact the police as soon as possible

Sergeant Tom Malley
