A man has been charged in connection with a crash on Christmas Day which left four teenagers and a woman seriously injured, police have said.

Three boys, aged 13, 15 and 17, a 17-year-old girl and a woman in her 30s, were hurt when a Mercedes crashed at the junction of Willow Brooke Court and Common Edge Road, Blackpool, on Monday.

Lancashire Police said their injuries were not life-threatening.

A 42-year-old man from St Annes has been charged with two offences.

He is due to face magistrates charged with failing to co-operate with a preliminary test and provide specimens for analysis.

The force said the man had been bailed in relation to causing serious injury by dangerous driving and driving under the influence of alcohol while inquiries continue.
