Man Arrested After Car Drives Through Road Closures at Lytham Club Day

Police say social-media footage of bystanders restraining the driver has helped reassure attendees while investigators gather evidence.

Overview

  • A Honda HR‑V drove at low speed through road closures on Albert Street during Lytham Club Day on Saturday, June 27, and bystanders brought the vehicle to a halt before officers arrived.
  • Authorities confirmed a 40-year-old man from Warton was detained at the scene and arrested on suspicion of driving while unfit through drink or drugs and assault.
  • Police said no one was injured in the incident and there is no ongoing or wider threat to the public.
  • Images and video shared on social media appear to show members of the public restraining the driver on the ground until officers took over, and those clips are being noted by investigators as corroborating evidence.
  • Enquiries are continuing and officers have asked anyone with information to contact 101 quoting log 0709 of Saturday, June 27, while event organisers and authorities may review crowd safety measures for future Club Day events.
