Lancashire Constabulary today confirmed the 39-year-old was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. Following the tragedy, his devastated family have described him as having "the biggest heart", reports Lancs Live.

Michael was taken away from us far too soon at the age of 39. He was known to be a gentleman by people who knew him and would light up the room with his smile, huge personality, and the warmest of hugs.
“He had the biggest heart and he loved his family and friends so much. Michael will be sadly missed and never forgotten, he will live on forever in his daughter, in our hearts and memories.”
Officers who are investigating the crash are appealing for witnesses to the incident and to anyone driving in the area around the time who have dashcam footage.
Sgt Paul McCurrie of Lancashire Police said: “First and foremost, our thoughts are with Mr Hanley’s family at this very sad and distressing time for them.
