Two men are killed and two more are seriously injured after a van leaves a Cheshire country lane

A van carrying four men left the carriageway on Station Road in Goostrey, Cheshire, at around 3pm on Tuesday, killing two and leaving two others fighting serious injuries in hospital. The 52-year-old died at the scene; the 53-year-old died later in hospital. The two survivors, aged 48 and 49, are not believed to be in life-threatening danger.

Both directions of Station Road remain closed between The Space Invader and Twemlow Lane in Twemlow Green.

Detective Sergeant Amy Hollis of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit is appealing for witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage to call Cheshire Police on 101, quoting IML2451309.

The families of all four men have been notified and are receiving support from specially trained officers.
