Man dies following collision near Chapel-en-le-Frith

A man has died in hospital following a collision near to Chapel-en-le-Frith yesterday (Monday 27 June).

Officers were called just after 2.10pm to reports of a collision at the roundabout where the A6 meets the A624 at Chapel-en-le-Frith, near The Fickle Mermaid pub.

One vehicle was involved, and a man was taken to hospital for treatment, but he died later that night.

The man’s family is aware, and they are being offered support by specially trained officers. Our thoughts are with them at this time.

The road was closed while emergency services dealt with the scene but was fully reopened around 5pm.

Enquiries are ongoing and we would like to hear from any witnesses or anyone who may have any dashcam footage of the incident.
