Police were called to the car park of Greenhill Social and Bowling Club, Manchester Road, on Monday, February 12th to a report of a collision between Vauxhall and two pedestrians. Very sadly, 72-year-old Lynne Harvey, from Burnley died following the collision.

Her family have paid the following heart breaking tribute to her:

“She had strength. A true fighter until the end. She always looked after, loved, and cared for her children. She loved, talked about, and adored her grandchildren, never failing to mention them.

“A loving and caring friend. A tragic loss to us all. She will be remembered for as long as we live. We will hold the fond memories in our hearts. Miss you forever.”

Police are continuing to appeal for information, footage and witnesses to the collision, between a Vauxhall and two pedestrians on the car park of Greenhill Social and Bowling Club, Manchester Road, Burnley.
