Overview
- Relatives found 37-year-old Nadeem Hussain dead in his Audi at 1:56am on March 23, about 28 hours after a crash off the M61 near junction 9 at Clayton Brook.
- Lancashire Police said an iPhone Crash SOS alert tied to his phone came in shortly after 10pm on March 21, then the control room closed the log after a failed call back.
- He was reported missing at 2:14pm on March 22 and graded medium risk, and police say his family are being supported by specially trained officers.
- A Home Office post-mortem found he died instantly, and investigators say the Audi hit trees down a wooded embankment where it was hidden from view.
- The force referred the case to the IOPC, which directed a local investigation now under way, and a GoFundMe set up by Chloe Townson is raising money in his memory.
