00:00 Hi, my name's Jack Marshall and these are your headlines from across the North West
00:03 on Friday, September 15th.
00:06 In Preston, a 15-year-old boy had to be airlifted to Royal Preston Hospital after crashing a
00:10 moped into a parked car near Avonham Park. Emergency services were called to the scene
00:15 in Westcliffe at 4.18pm on September 11th, with the rider having suffered head, arm and
00:21 leg injuries and was later airlifted to hospital for urgent treatment.
00:25 In Blackpool, claims have been made that a juror at the trial of Fleetwood Town Football
00:30 Club owner Andy Pilly was offered £20,000 to find him guilty.
00:34 Disgraced businessman Andy Pilly was jailed for 13 years for mis-selling expensive energy
00:39 contracts to the tune of £15 million in July, with the juror at the Preston Crown Court
00:45 trial which ran from October to March, telling the Mail Sport that he was approaching a park
00:50 by two "thick-set men" and offered a bribe. In a panic, he then fled overseas and was
00:56 excused from duty.
00:59 In Wigan, a source has claimed that a young man whose death is the subject of a Wigan
01:03 police murder investigation was found hanged and with his hands tied together. The as-yet
01:08 unnamed 20-year-old had to be cut down by officers who were seen taking stepladders
01:13 into the address in Ince following the grim discovery on Monday, September 11th. Three
01:18 men have been arrested in connection with the tragedy and questioned by detectives.
01:23 In Burnley, the family of a Rosindale man, Stephen McKenna, have paid tribute to a devoted
01:27 dad and grandad after McKenna died following an accident on the M65 motorway in Burnley.

01:39 last Saturday.

01:55 and Central Drive in place from 7am until 8pm on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st September.
02:03 The weather now and conditions are expected to brighten up as the day goes on today, with
