A cyclist is 'fighting for his life' in hospital following a serious crash in the early hours of the morning.
Police say they were called to the junction between Newchurch Road and New Line, in Bacup, at 5.45am on Wednesday.
A Ford Ranger pick-up truck is thought to have collided with the cyclist.
The road was closed for several hours while collision investigators attended, but it has since reopened.
The injured cyclist is currently being treated in hospital for 'serious injuries' and police have asked anyone who may have seen the crash to come forward.
Sgt Michael Higginson, of the Lancashire Police TacOps team, said: “This was a nasty collision which has left a man fighting for his life in hospital.
“We are determined to establish exactly what occurred and would ask anybody with information to get in touch.
“Perhaps you saw the collision, or saw either of the vehicles in the moments before the collision, and have not yet been spoken to by police, or maybe you have CCTV or dashcam footage of the collision.
“Whatever information you have we would ask you to contact us as soon as possible.”
Anybody with information is asked to get in touch on 101, quoting log 189 of June 2.
