POLICE are appealing for witnesses into an ongoing case in which a 26-year-old man was killed after being hit by a car.
Detectives are investigating a disturbance which happened outside a church on St James Street in Farnworth on Monday, March 2 between 8am and 8.30am.
The disturbance led to a collision in which a pedestrian, a 26-year-old man, was killed on Tennyson Road after being struck by a dark grey VW Golf car.
At the time, police said enquiries suggested the pedestrian and same car were involved in a disturbance near to the St James Street church.
It took place a few moments before the collision, which happened on Tennyson Road, near to Milton Crescent.
The Golf was then abandoned and the offenders fled before police arrived.
Officers are trying to piece together the circumstances leading up to the tragic death.
